N2  - ""The reviewer considers that Dr Knappett, in revising this classic textbook, has made a substantial additional contribution to the years of service given by Dr Craig to the civil engineering profession, in general, and the geotechnical community in particular.""--Catherine O'Sullivan, Imperial College, London, UK""Jonathan Knappett is breathing a fresh lease of life into this old favourite with several new slants, including for the first time the design philosophy of Eurocode 7 and much new material ... I propose to keep it on our list of 'must consult' textbooks.""-Edward Bromhead, Kingston Uni
