Content:
The book gives one an indepth study into an important part of the historical development of the Theory of Porous Media as well as the amazing story of the glittering life of Professor Karl von Terazaghi and provides an outline of the bitter dispute between him and Professor Paul Fillunger, both working at the Technische Hochschule in Vienna in the fields of Soil Mechanics and Technical Mechanics, respectively, in the early to mid 1930s. The ugly confrontation with its tragic end was a scandal in many respects.
