Ground improvement has been one of the most dynamic and rapidly
evolving areas of geotechnical engineering and construction over
the past 40 years. The need to develop sites with marginal soils
has made ground improvement an increasingly important core
component of geotechnical engineering curricula. Fundamentals of
Ground Improvement Engineering addresses the most effective and
latest cutting-edge techniques for ground improvement. Key ground
improvement methods are introduced that provide readers with a
thorough understanding of the theory, design principles, and
construction approaches that underpin each method. Major topics are
compaction, permeation grouting, vibratory methods, soil mixing,
stabilization and solidification, cutoff walls, dewatering,
consolidation, geosynthetics, jet grouting, ground freezing,
compaction grouting, and earth retention. The book is ideal for
undergraduate and graduate-level university students, as well as
practitioners seeking fundamental background in these techniques.
The numerous problems, with worked examples, photographs,
schematics, charts and graphs make it an excellent reference and
teaching tool.

Stake's Trusts and Estates casebook is designed as a teaching tool
for a basic course in trusts and estates. This casebook is less
willing than some to assume that the goal of following the
decedent's intent overrides other societal concerns. The book
focuses on key cases and UPC provisions, with many fewer note cases
than appear in standard casebooks, rather than providing
hornbook-like coverage of the subject. The hope is that this
narrower focus will make it easier for to students to understand
what to study and perhaps make the book more readable than some
casebooks. Stake's book can be easily covered in a 3-hour course,
or can be supplemented with local law for a 4-hour course. The
casebook includes a variety of policy questions for class
discussion, from questions about the justice and efficiency of
various UPC provisions to questions about the roles of courts and
legislatures in making policy choices.
