<br/><br/> "This book is an engineering guide for the design of slopes and stabilisation works in rocks and residual soils. It is tailored to the needs of practising geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists. Engineering and engineering geology students will find it quite useful and a practical course guide. It can be used as a textbook in courses on landslides and slope stabilisation."
