The Engineer and the Scandal: A Piece of Science History

Offers an eye-opening and revealing look into an interpersonal/scientific conflict involving the â€˜Father of Modern Soil Mechanicsâ€™ Karl von Terzaghi.

Exemplifies the â€˜human sideâ€™ of science in which, sometimes, the prominence of a theorist and the inertia of the â€˜accepted wisdomâ€™ can inhibit progress and rational discussion of the facts.

More than 100 illustrations combine with historical details in the text to evoke a vivid picture of the lost era of pre-WWII Vienna.
