This book, authored by Jim Blake, provides a photographic history of the London Underground during the years 1968 to 1985, a period when the Greater London Council (GLC) was responsible for its operations. It offers a visual exploration of the Underground's rolling stock, stations, and services, emphasizing the transitions and challenges faced during this era. The book documents the end of steam operations, the introduction of new electric stock, and the impact of governmental changes on London's transport system. It serves as a valuable resource for historians, transport enthusiasts, and those interested in the evolution of urban transit in London.

Involving several areas of geological engineering, geotechnical engineering and tunnel engineering, this book describes the soft soil deformation characteristics and dynamic responses induced by subway vibration load. Based on field monitoring and laboratory testing data, with both comprehensive micro- and macroanalysis, the authors present dynamic characteristics and deformation settlement of saturated soft clay surrounding subway tunnels using dynamic and static methodology. Mechanism of deformation, failure in microstructure of soft clay soil, dynamic response, macro deformation and settlement are all discussed and analyzed thoroughly and systematically. Some of the research findings in this book have been widely applied by large subway companies and will have broader application prospects in future. All the above make this book a valuable reference not only for technical engineers working in subway design or construction but also for advanced graduate students. Prof. Yiqun Tang works at the Department of Geotechnical Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, China.
