This book provides an invaluable perspective to engineers and geologists dealing with rock slope failures: not so much what causes the failures in the first instance, but what happens to the rock masses as they move, and therefore how to analyse them. I don t think that there is a good, systematic, treatment elsewhere. Eddie Bromhead, retired from Kingston University, London, UK a comprehensive book containing both the theory and practice of rock fall engineering. The author is experienced not only in these subjects but also in compiling books that present the material in a particularly easy-to-understand manner which will be appreciated by all readers whether they be engineers, contractors, clients, researchers, teachers or students. In short, this book contains the necessary information to understand and design rock fall protection. Emeritus Professor John A. Hudson, Imperial College London
