Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Earthwork Slips and Subsidences upon Public Works: Their Causes, Prevention, and Reparation," John Newman delves into the critical issues of soil instability and its impact on civil engineering projects. Written in a meticulously analytical style, this work draws upon rich empirical data while integrating theoretical frameworks to dissect the causes of earthwork failures. Set against the backdrop of the rapid industrialization of the 19th century, the text situates itself within the broader context of geotechnical engineering, addressing both practical challenges and preventive measures that remain relevant today. John Newman, a prominent figure in civil engineering during his era, possessed extensive hands-on experience with public works projects, which informed his profound understanding of geotechnical challenges. His insights were shaped by the evolving landscape of engineering practices and the increasing necessity for safeguarding infrastructure against earth-related hazards. This background provided him with a unique vantage point from which to explore the complexities of earthwork and its implications for public safety. This book is highly recommended for civil engineers, geologists, and environmental scientists, as well as historians of technology. Newman's comprehensive approach equips readers with essential knowledge to navigate the intricacies of earthworks, making it a seminal text for both contemporary studies and practical applications in engineering.

Living the Technology Revolution...

Martin K. Ettington

This isn't a book filled with dry timelines or technical blueprints of the digital revolution. Instead, it's a firsthand journey—my journey—through one of the most astonishing transformations in human history: the rise of personal computing and the dawn of the digital age.
I was born in November 1955, at a time when the word “computer” was barely whispered outside of military labs and universities. My earliest memories include a bulky black-and-white television with rabbit-ear antennas, broadcasting a single channel. That flickering screen was my first encounter with electronic media—a far cry from the high-definition, touch-responsive world we live in now.
Over the decades, my path as an engineer and software developer placed me squarely in the midst of this technological upheaval. I didn’t just watch the future arrive—I helped build it, one line of code and one innovation at a time.
This book is a personal time capsule—a chronicle of what it was really like to live through the shift from analog to digital, from typewriters to tablets, from rotary phones to the infinite power in our pockets today. If you're a younger reader curious about how we got here, or someone who remembers the glow of vacuum tubes and the clack of punch cards, I invite you to walk with me through the decades.
You may be surprised by how far we’ve come—and how much we’ve forgotten along the way.
Many of the chapters are identified with the years or periods of time where these changes occurred.
