From the reviews:
“The present book … highlights the behavior of geological materials in the long term range and at geological conditions, i. e. at high pressures and temperatures. … Every chapter comprises at the end a substantial list of references for further studies in the respective field of interest. In total, the book represents a very valuable introduction into the mechanical behavior of rocks and minerals for every scientist and engineer interested in this field.” (Materials Testing, Vol. 55 (7-8), 2013)Authors and Affiliations
