A must for anyone in excavation!, 27 Oct 1999
By Jason A. Stubler - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Moving the Earth (Hardcover)
Moving the Earth starts with descriptive details on land clearing, surveying, properties of rock, soil, mud, different methods to digging basements, ditching and dewatering, lanscaping, roads, blasting, tunneling, and pit operations. Each method goes into great detail on how the work is performed and how the work is recommended to be done. Chapter 11 goes through the costs and management of excavation. The last half of the book goes through all of the machines used in excavation today.I recommend this book to anyone involved in excavation.

Excellent basic reference, 6 Sep 2004
By M. Miller "avid reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Moving the Earth (Hardcover)
I ordered the latest edition of this book for my husband, who had spent hours studying the previous one. Whether you're operating a dozer or an excavator, or even a Bobcat; transplanting trees, landscaping, making stock ponds or building roads... this is a valuable reference.

A excellent resource for a construction manager, 12 April 2008
By J. F. Mccarthy "Pareto - Building Improvement" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Moving the Earth, 5th Edition: The Workbook of Excavation (Hardcover)
Although this book is intended and best suited for those working full time in excavation, it is also a useful reference for the construction manager/general contractor.
The treatment of excavation methods seen from the viewpoint of those actually doing the work provided additional information and insight for those managing the whole project. The explantions were both detailed and practical, and the pictures and diagrams were helpful. Although the later sections on equipment problably will not be useful to me, I could not help reading them.
A valuable addition to my reference library.
