Review

From the reviews:

"A book devoted to the technical aspects of rock mechanics, important for underground excavations, including mines, tunnels, and deep wells. ... It could be used as a course resource but is more suitable as a reference for practicing engineering geologists or geotechnical engineers. There are numerous references at the ends of the chapters ... . Summing Up: Recommended. Professionals." (C. W. Dimmick, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008)
