Happy Karl Terzaghi’s Birthday 2012! Celebrate with 12 Terzaghi Tweets

GeoPrac.net [2012-10-02 09:00:01]   recommend this post  (820 visits)

First off, I am truly ashamed.  I had a copy of Karl Terzaghi’s biography by Richard Goodman loaned to me for probably the last year and have yet to read it.  Before I write any more of this blog post, I want to ask my readers to [...]

A mystery resolved

Fossils and Other Living Things [2012-10-01 23:41:00]   recommend this post  (660 visits)
