The Engineer and the Scandal: A Piece of Science History
Reint De Boer
Focuses on an interpersonal/scientific conflict involving the 'Father of Modern Soil Mechanics' Karl von Terzaghi. This book exemplifies the 'human side' of science in which, sometimes, the prominence of a theorist and the inertia of the 'accepted wisdom' can inhibit progress and rational discussion of the facts.
