Parts of every state in the United States are affected by these instabilities of the ground. As the demand for land grows and humans increasingly modify their environment, more and more people will be exposed to these instabilities and suffer the consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClick \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/4224\/4564\/files\/Unstable_Ground_Book.pdf?v=1783550934\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to view the Title Page, Preface, and Contents.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Applied Technology Council","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48162049360084,"sku":"ATC-AGI","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/4224\/4564\/files\/ATC-AGIcoverV.jpg?v=1782184575","url":"https:\/\/store.atcouncil.org\/products\/living-with-unstable-ground","provider":"The ATC Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
