Series: Theory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media. Num Pages: 443 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBG; TGM; TT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 807.
Both the beauty and interest of fractures and fracture networks are easy to grasp, since they are abundant in nature. An example is the road from Digne to Nice in the south of France, with an impressive number and variety of such structures: the road for the most part, goes through narrow valleys with fast running streams penetrating the rock faces; erosion is favored by the Mediterranean climate, so that rocks are barely covered by meager vegetation. In this inhospitable and sterile landscape, the visitor can im mediately discover innumerable fractures in great masses which have been distorted by slow, ... Read more

Reviews for Fractures and Fracture Networks
`....However, it would be a useful book to have for an Environmental Geoscience or Geo-engineering degree programm, as a supplement to a more general course text. At the graduate level, and beyond, it would be valuable to have in the library for those involved in fracture and fluid-flow studies.....I would recommend the purchase.' ... Read more
