The Bible... Theoretical Soils Mechanics, Karl Terzaghi. (1943 and still the best.)
Foundation Engineering, Peck, Hanson and Thornburn. Very practical.
Most of the Canuck engineering codes for soils, structural, etc, and especially the safety codes.
As for dictionaries, I use Google for a reference for speeling. >;-)
