Abstract

Civil Engineers are usually specialists in some branch of the great field. They often get so deep into the forest that nearby trees effectively obscure the forest as a whole. The same is true of the specialists in the numerous branches of the field of geology. The writer has a certain advantage in this study. Not only has he had approximately equal training in both fields but he has lived almost thirty years as an observer outside the "forest", taking occasional excursions into the thickets of the fields but never staying so long in any one of them that he became excessively imbued with the minutia which can gain control in any field.
