Aus den Rezensionen: ... Das Lehrbuch ... leistet einen hervorragenden Beitrag, die englische Sprache als Fachfremdsprache fur Ingenieure der Geowissenschaften und des Bergbaus vorzustellen und zu vertiefen. Es ist ... fur ein breiteres Publikum geeignet, sich mit der englischen Sprache zu beschaftigen ... Die im Buch behandelten Themen sind weit gefachert. ... Das Lehrbuch ist als Text- und Arbeitsbuch konzipiert und aufgrund seines integrierten Losungsstils bestens zum Selbststudium geeignet. Durch die verschiedenen Texte, Ubungseinheiten, Tabellen und Graphiken ist es abwechslungsreich und interessant gestaltet. (in: Gluckauf, 2/July/2009, Vol. 145, Issue 6, S. 338)
