El destino de la carne es una obra intensamente autobiográfica. Su protagonista, Ernest Pontifex, encarna muchos de los conflictos que gobernaron la vida de su autor. Nacido en el seno de una familia acomodada, el joven Pontifex es víctima de unos padres reprimidos, de la miseria moral del sistema educativo británico, de unos compañeros poco escrupulosos y un desastroso matrimonio con una criada.

The slug test is currently the most common method for the in situ estimation of hydraulic conductivity at sites of suspected groundwater contamination. However, inappropriate procedures in one or more phases of a slug test can introduce considerable error into the resulting parameter estimates. This book remedies this problem by answering virtually every question regarding the design, performance, and analysis of slug tests. This is the first book to provide detailed information on the practical aspects of the methodology of slug tests. All major analysis methods are described in the book. Each analysis method is outlined in a step-by-step manner and illustrated with a field example.
