One of the most eminent engineers of the 20th century, both on the national anand international stage, Professor Sir Alec Skempton was truly an influential figure in the discipline of soil mechanics. In the late 1940s he was instrumental in developing the subject, and formed the first university department of soil mechanics at Imperial College, London. Over the years the research, papers and books flowed, as did the accolades and recognition. But this is not a book about soil mechanics alone - it relates much more, about the man and how he really viewed life, how he approached challenges and how he would be content only with a job well done.

"Written by Tom 'Jack' Sullivan Green A.B. of Bristol in the 1920s, Escape to the Sea is a first-hand account of survival against the odds of an orphan boy in early Victorian England." "This tale of a seaman's life chronicles both tragedy and comedy amongst the everyday lot of a working world unimaginable in the modern era. Tom traces his early life in the London slums of 1848; being apprenticed to a tailor before running away to sea to escape a 'miserable life'. But when a new and tyrannical skipper made terrifying death threats he was again forced to run away." "Walking from London to Liverpool in 1866 to try his hand on trans-Atlantic passages, Tom gives a chilling account of the last public hanging at Stafford. In the same year, Tom's travels take him to Georgia, USA where he gives an eye-witness account of the tragic plight of slaves freed after the American Civil War. The harrowing sights he saw ashore leave a searing impression of the aftermath of a devastating conflict." "Following various brushes with authority, Tom changes his name to Jack Green and lies low taking shore jobs near Cardiff where he turns down working digging the Severn Tunnel due to claustrophobia. Eventually settling and marrying near Bristol, he experienced more exotic times as a mariner - including plying the former slave routes to West Africa - before he 'swallowed the anchor'."--BOOK JACKET.
