This book is used at Rensselaer as well as in the civil engineering classes at other colleges. See the excellent review by Margaret M. Mitchell, One Book, Four Subjects in December 2017 Civil Engineering page 20. "Although the book is a story of devastation and loss, it is an unconventional-yet ideal-springboard for students as they em bark on their study of four of the main branches of civil engineering: environmental, geotechnical, structural, and transportation."
