Biography
Tony Waltham lives in Nottingham, UK, having now retired from many years as a university lecturer in engineering geology.
"A useful source for a quick insight into the subject or a reminder for the practising engineer when difficult ground is encountered."
—Ground Engineering
"This is an excellent book that will be invaluable not only as a textbook for students taking an engineering geology, geology or civil engineering course but also as a reference book/aide memoire in later years as they (and we more advanced practitioners) follow their careers."
—Geological Magazine
