Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book on Retaining Walls and Masonry Dams Earthwork slopes are the surfaces formed when excavations, embankments, terraces, mounds, and other constructions are made in or with the natural earth. The earth is to be regarded in discussion as homogeneous and inelastic, and as consisting of particles more or less united by cohesion between which friction is generated whenever exterior forces tend to effect a separation. As some kinds of earth when dry are destitute of cohesion, these will first be considered under the term "loose earth."

Download or read book Feral Future written by Tim Low and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A decade ago, Tim Low journeyed to the remote northernmost tip of Australia. Instead of the pristine rain forests he expected, he found jungles infested with Latin American carpet grass and feral cattle. That incident helped inspire Feral Future, a passionate account of the history and implications of invasive species in that island nation, with consequences for ecological communities around the globe. Australia is far from alone in facing horrific ecological and economic damage from invading plants and animals, and in Low's capable hands, Australia's experiences serve as a wake-up call for all of us. He covers how invasive species like cane toads and pond apple got to Australia (often through misguided but intentional introductions) and what we can do to stop them. He also covers the many pests that Australia has exported to the world, including the paperbark tree (Melaleuca) that infests hundreds of thousands of acres in south Florida.
