3.0 out of 5 stars Book is what I wanted, but I'm still a bit disappointed, June 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Karl Terzaghi: The Engineer As Artist (Paperback)
I usually buy books on amazon.com and have never had a problem before. With this book, the timing was better than perfect, but the edition is not good. I understand it's not amazon's fault, but It has an errata page with about 30 typos along the complete book. I think a couple of them are acceptable, but in this case, the books should be taken out of market and replaced by a good edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Karl Terzaghi The Engineer as Artist, April 14, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Karl Terzaghi: The Engineer As Artist (Paperback)
Professor Goodman is a very good writer and has done an excelent job chronicling the life and times of a pioneering engineer. He did his homework and the endproduct is both informative and entertaining. I have been reading it everyday on my long commute from SF to Oakland via MUNI and BART. Helps me understand some of the good and bad paralles to my own career and what it took to be one of the best. Timing is great for me in reformulating my next professional moves in life. Obviously Karl made quite a few of his own.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Karl Terzaghi: The Engineer As Artist (Paperback)
Most will agree this is the most comprehensive book available about Karl Terzaghi. A well-researched, worthwhile book about a very interesting engineer.
