A TEXTBOOK ON ROCK MECHANICS FOR TABULAR HARD ROCK MINES BY J A RYDER AND A J JAGER. SOFTCOVER, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAME,S 2002, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

The planned rock mechanics textbook is a synthesis of 22 classic texts on rock mechanics, solid mechanics, the authors 15 years experience in rock mechanics in the gold mining industry, and 10 years as a professor at the University of Pretoria. Throughout this period, the author noted that all the introductory texts on stress and strain were incomplete in one way or another, and that this, together with the watered-down introductions to stress and strain currently accepted in the mining rock mechanics fraternity, forms a barrier to the rest of rock mechanics.
