Pages : 0
Book Description
The Channel Tunnel between England and France is one of the engineering marvels of the modern age, but its construction was not without its challenges. In this fascinating study, Joseph Prestwich examines the geological conditions that affected the construction of the tunnel, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the science behind this incredible feat of engineering. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of engineering and geology. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations. Within the United States, you may freely copy and distribute this work, as no entity (individual or corporate) has a copyright on the body of the work.

Engineering Geology of the Channel Tunnel
Author: Colin S. Harris
Publisher: Thomas Telford
ISBN: 9780727720450
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 646
Book Description
The Channel Tunnel has been called the greatest engineering project of the century, overcoming a unique set of financial, political and engineering challenges. This book provides a comprehensive insight into the events which culminated in the first dry link between Britain and France. It describes the relationship between the site investigation, data interpretation and construction of the works. It examines areas such as the difficulties inherent in predicting geology from a relatively small number of boreholes and revealing how the use of modern geophysical techniques.

The Women Who Popularized Geology in the 19th Century
Author: Kristine Larsen
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319649523
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
The female authors highlighted in this monograph represent a special breed of science writer, women who not only synthesized the science of their day (often drawing upon their own direct experience in the laboratory, field, classroom, and/or public lecture hall), but used their works to simultaneously educate, entertain, and, in many cases, evangelize. Women played a central role in the popularization of science in the 19th century, as penning such works (written for an audience of other women and children) was considered proper "women's work." Many of these writers excelled in a particular literary technique known as the "familiar format," in which science is described in the form of a conversation between characters, especially women and children. However, the biological sciences were considered more “feminine” than the natural sciences (such as astronomy and physics), hence the number of geological “conversations” was limited. This, in turn, makes the few that were completed all the more crucial to analyze.
