Focuses on a type of material mainly used in place of compacted backfill for pipe embedment and backfill, but gaining widely in applications. It is a mixture of cementitious material, soil, water, and sometimes fly ash and admixtures. Here 26 papers, from a June 1997 symposium in St. Louis, Missouri, describe new design procedures, new applications, and installation innovations in order to help assess the need for new or revised standards. They cover ingredients, properties, test methods, standards and specifications, case histories, and pipeline applications. The five current standards are appended.

Sex and the Second-Best City deals with the topics of sex and society in the Laws of Plato with recourse to historical context and modern critical theory. It examines reconstructions of ancient "sexuality" with a view to increased clarification. The text of the Laws is considered, along with many of its literary qualities, its influences and the utopian plan that it proposes.
