I bought the book for my Intro to Geotechnical Engineering, a class I was not particularly interested in taking, and have found this textbook to be a decent text book. It's very wordy, though it does have some good use of illustrations and charts. I've found that it doesn't really lend itself to being skimmed over. There are no summaries, and my book is printed entirely in black and white (I have an international edition, so it may be colored in the U.S. edition, but the style of the pictures lead me to believe the U.S. edition is also black and white). This makes the book a bit harder to sift through to find important information quickly. The book is does a fairly good job of being clear overall. If you sit down and read a chapter start to finish, you'll probably be well versed on the subject. However, chapters are regularly a surplus of 40 pages each which if pretty daunting for textbook reading (at least in my opinion). I've read textbooks that were better organized and clearer, but this textbook is still pretty good. That's why it gets 4/5 stars.Read full review
