Chosen as one of the new "centers of excellence" by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science, Sports, and Culture, is the research team at the University of Niigata, working in the field of human brain science. In the first two sections of this book staff and guest scientists of the University of Niigata present their work on the project entitled "Neuroscience of Music" whose goal is the elucidation of how the human brain works. The third part of the book represents the proceedings of the first International Symposium on the Neuroscience of Music. The symposium represented the first international gathering of experts from diverse neuroscientific fields for in-depth discussions regarding the human brain and music. Employing a novel, fascinating approach to the subject and containing a large number of excellent color illustrations plus 1 CD with music, this volume will be of interest to all scientists and researchers studying the human Average Rating:
 Rating: - Very high quality reference.I'm a professional engineering geologist in California who is fortunate enough to work with rock slope stability projects. This book, combined with Hoek & Bray's (now Wyllie & Mah's) Rock Slope Engineering, provides me with everything I need for my work. It's an indispensable reference. With California's extremely variable geology and the dwindling supply of flat project sites, I'm regularly hit with new situations. This book has always provided a suitable example and clear explanation of how ...

Although an understanding of geology and earth processes is essential for the subject to be understandable, this book and the accompanying book of worked problems will teach you the subject well and thoroughly. I just wish they'd make the accompanying book of worked problems in paperback becuase it's too expensive! Rating: - basic and helpfulThis book really introduce to the reader in the basic principles of the rock mechanics apply to the engineering projects. The authors starts from the review of the rock as an engineering material, and relate this with the behavior of the rock masses as a materials studying in they the stress definitions, the strain concepts firstly from the intact rock point of view and after as a rock masses. Please note that the order of the development of the units is going with the support of the basic ... Read More
