"This book by Alan Muir Wood is an excellent reference and should
be in the personal library of every engineer and manager involved
in tunneling. It is very readable and the no holds barred approach
adopted by the author in discussing the important issues is
authoritative and refreshing. It comprehensively covers the
technical aspects and philosophies of tunnelling and many readers
will find it has applications to other major civil engineering
projects."
