Excerpt from My Trip to the Orient I have tried to take my readers over land and sea, and let them participate in the various experiences on this trip, and enjoy the sights and scenes which continually met my vision. It was in the divine plan for me to see the land promised to Abraham and his seed forever, so that by personal experience and observation I might bring light and truth to others. The Old Testament brims with new life and inspiration, after one has seen Egypt, the land of the Pharaoh's, where God's ancient peo ple were once in bondage. The history of the exodus bridges the flight of ages, and it seems but yesterday since Miriam and Moses sang their song of deliverance on the banks of the Red Sea. The author. Note - The first edition of M y Trip to the Orient was so well received that it was soon exhausted, but owing to the fact that a number of other books had to be printed, and because issues were still unsettled in the great war, it was considered best to pospone the publishing of the second edition, which seems now to have been providential. Through the delay, proof has been furnished to statements made in the first edition concerning the restoration of Israel.

This book is the only one of its kind in the Indian market that caters to the students of all these subjects. Engineers require a deep understanding, interpretation and analyses of earth sciences before suggesting engineering designs and remedial measures to combat natural disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, debris flows, tsunamis and floods. This book covers all aspects of engineering geology and is intended to serve as a reference for practicing civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, marine engineers, geologists and mining engineers. Engineering Geology has also been designed as a textbook for students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in advanced/applied geology and earth sciences. A plethora of examples and case studies relevant to the Indian context have been included for better understanding of the geological challenges faced by engineers.New in this Edition• The concept of watershed and the depiction of watershed atlas of India• Latest findings by the Indian Bureau of Mines• Recent developments in coastal engineering and innovative structures• New types of protective structures to guard against tsunamis• Role of geology in building smart cities• Environmental legislation in India
