Rezensionen

"An excellent book, very well presented, and is a must for theshelves of serious engineers and scientists active or interested inthe fields of rock mechanics and rock engineering.... Highlyrecommended." (South African Geographical Journal, 2008)

"...I consider this book to be an invaluable reference forstudying and understanding the fundamental science at the base ofrock mechanics. I believe this to be a must-have textbook and Istrongly recommend it to anyone, student or professional,interested in the subject." (Rock Mechanics and RockEngineering)"Previous editions of this seminal book have provided students,researchers and practitioners the world over with the rockmechanics basics for engineering applications. In this 4th edition,Professor Zimmerman, a world expert in the field, has now updatedthe content in line with modern thinking, while retaining vitalemphasis on the fundamentals of the subject. I strongly recommendthis book to anyone studying, researching or using rock mechanics:the book is invaluable, both as a learning tool and as a referencesource for the underpinning fundamental science."
-John A Hudson, Emeritus Professor, ImperialCollege, and President (2007-2011), International Society for RockMechanics

"The bible of rock mechanics has been updated with several newchapters on topics that were in their infancy at the time of thelast edition of this book. My favorite update is Zimmerman'sskillful presentation of the hydro-mechanical and seismicproperties of fractures. There is no other comparable presentationof this broad range of material with such mathematical depth androck mechanics foundations. The reference list is priceless. Iconsider this a must-have textbook for serious student and expertalike in the area of fractured rock."
