Special Notes:

Special Notes on Google Ads

Appearance of any advertiser or product on the Google Adsense ads on this site does not constitute an endorsement.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

Special Notes on Amazon.Com and LuLu Links

Most of our amazon.com and all of our LuLu links will result in revenue for this site if the book is bought. Books linked to are either a) the books used for the geotechical courses or b) books produced and/or written by the webmaster (that applies to all of our vulcanhammer.net store books.) I do not do book reviews on this site, and, except in the course of academic work, do not receive free review copies of these books (and that includes the ones I produce!)

Copyright Policy

As noted on every page, all content is copyrighted.  The material I offer falls into two categories.  The first is for sale, and I ask that this not be reposted.  But most of what I have to offer is free, and my only request is that anything you might use needs attribution with a link back to the site.
