From the reviews of the second edition:
"This thorough and authoritative reference work on the characterization, prediction, monitoring, treatment, and disposal of mine wastes relates so well to the important environmental impact of energy and mineral resource development … . This well-illustrated second edition (1st ed., 2003) with … abundant references, lists of resource material, lists of appropriate Web sites, and a thorough index, would be an appropriate library holding for science and technology, economics, and environmental matters. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers; upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (W. C. Peters, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (5), January, 2008)
From the reviews of the third edition:
“Author can be proud of this successful volume. … Whoever needs updated information on the mine wastes will welcome Lottermoser’s book … . This is particularly helpful for undergraduate students in the Earth sciences and in mining engineering and related fields. … The 400-page volume is clearly driven by a didactical approach of the author. … the book does a very good job of introducing anyone interested to the important topic and of guiding the reader to delve further into the topic area.” (Jörg Matschullat, Environmental Earth Sciences, Vol. 62, 2011)
