"This comprehensive introduction to rock mechanics treats the basics of rock mechanics in a clear and straightforward manner and discusses important design problems in terms of the mechanics of materials. Numerous exercises and examples familiarize the reader with solving basic practical problems in rock mechanics through various design analysis techniques and their applications. A large selection of problems at the end of each chapter are available for home assignment, and a course instructor's solution manual is available for home assignments that may be selected from the extensive list of problems given at the end of each chapter. Explanatory and illustrative in character, this book is an ideal course book in rock mechanics for undergraduate and first year graduate students in mining and civil engineering and a useful introduction to rock mechanics for earth scientists and engineers from other disciplines. In this second edition important design problems are discussed from a mechanics of materials approach. Numerous exercises and examples familiarize the reader with solving practical problems in rock mechanics through various design analysis techniques and their applications.Major applications addressed are:rock slope stability in surface excavations, from planar block and wedge slides to rotational and toppling failuresshaft and tunnel stability, ranging from naturally-supported openings to analysis and design of artificial support and reinforcement systemsentries and pillars in stratified groundthree-dimensional caverns, with emphasis on cable bolting and backfillgeometry and forces of chimney caving, combination support and trough subsidencerock bursts and bumps in underground excavations, with focus on dynamic phenomena and on fast and sometimes catastrophic failures.Supporting the main text, appendices provide supplementary information about rock, joint, and composite properties, rock mass classification schemes, useful formulas, and an extensive literature list.Explanatory and illustrative in character, this book is an ideal text in rock mechanics applications for undergraduate and first year graduate students in mining, geological, and civil engineering and a useful introduction to rock mechanics for earth scientists and engineers from other disciplines"-- "The main addition to the second edition is a new chapter "Bursts and Bumps" on rock dynamics that has a companion appendix "Basic Dynamics" that is a brief exposition of dynamic behaviour of rock. New problems and new examples are also added throughout the text to ehance the existing selections"--

Mexico is currently undergoing a crisis of violence and insecurity that poses serious threats to democratic transition and rule of law. This is the first book to put these developments in the context of post-revolutionary state-making in Mexico and to show that violence in Mexico is not the result of state failure, but of state-making. While most accounts of politics and the state in recent decades have emphasized processes of transition, institutional conflict resolution, and neo-liberal reform, this volume lays out the increasingly important role of violence and coercion by a range of s

A critical review of research and reflection in the area of death, with special emphasis on death education. Thought-provoking, often controversial reviews of and reactions to the current general domain of death phenomena--specifically death education--are addressed in this book. The author, skeptical that we can do very much with the phenomenon of death and dying, especially in relation to our efforts at addressing it educationally, explores the philosophical, psychological, socio-cultural, and theoretical aspects and raises critical questions that will challenge proponents of death
