Good book, nothing special.
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich I bought the book for my Intro to Geotechnical Engineering, a class I was not particularly interested in taking, and have found this textbook to be a decent text book. It's very wordy, though it does have some good use of illustrations and charts. I've found that it doesn't really lend itself to being skimmed over. There are no summaries, and my book is printed entirely in black and white (I have an international edition, so it may be colored in the U.S. edition, but the style of the pictures lead me to believe the U.S. edition is also black and white). This makes the book a bit harder to sift through to find important information quickly. The book is does a fairly good job of being clear overall. If you sit down and read a chapter start to finish, you'll probably be well versed on the subject. However, chapters are regularly a surplus of 40 pages each which if pretty daunting for textbook reading (at least in my opinion). I've read textbooks that were better organized and clearer, but this textbook is still pretty good. That's why it gets 4/5 stars.

Simple and effective
2 von 2 finden das hilfreich It's a good little tool with 2 strong magnets, one on each end. For about $10, its pretty effective and well worth the money in my opinion. With my plaster (thicker) walls, it doesn't support itself on the wall, but as you gently drag it across the wall, you can feel it pull towards nails.
So far, I've primarily used it to try to find studs in the floor, and it effectively pulls to most nails when you gently drag it accross the floor. [Unfortunately the nails were more frequent than possible stud spacing in each direction, so I couldn't effecrively find the studs, but it did as it should and found the nails.]
