Great for Undergrad. or Graduate Geotech Courses I am currently using this book for a graduate level advanced soil mechanics course. The material is presented in a neat and orderly manner and is easy to understand. The first 8 or 10 chapters provide a good background of soil properties and mechanics, making this book useful at the undergraduate level as well. Lambe & Whitman is definately a worth while textbook and reference. A good book but... The teory is excellent, this book explains to you everything about soil mechanics, but the practice (examples and exercises) is not so good and sometimes that's what really matters to you. I used this book in the university and now that I'm working I still use it frecuently because it explains to you very good things in a very easy way.
