'For practicing engineers, this book is a must.' - The Structural
Engineer (on the first edition)
`In this new edition the material as a whole is again dealt with
thoroughly and on a broad basis, so that the concise and well
structured presentation is valuable not only for the evaluation of
rock foundations, but also of rock slopes. Practicing engineers,
teachers and students will certainly benefit from this 400 page
publication.' Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering Vol. 34 2001
