ng>Engineering Geology in Canadang>. By R. F. Legget.

A review of available Literature indicates that engineering geology was utilized, if not by name, from early in the 19th Century. Some of the problems incurred in the development of the country were discussed and illustrated, with particular emphasis on methods of overcoming the permafrost conditions in the northern territories.
