Geotechnics and Heritage: Historic Towers is an edited volume offering very interesting and carefully selected case histories. It offers well documented methodological approaches to study similar cases elsewhere and affords deep insight into the cultural value of historic towers and the role of long term and dynamic monitoring to determine tower integrity, stability and behavior as well as safeguard their preservation. Furthermore, the role of soil-structure interaction is explored to explain past behavior and forecast response under ambient and seismic actions
