This series of essays aims to introduce some of the fundamentals of rock mechanics to readers who 
want to learn more about the topic without becoming bogged down in technical minutiae. The 
articles' material is based almost exclusively on the author's personal experience; as a result, it 
does not provide a comprehensive overview of the field of rock mechanics. As a result, an 
overarching rock mechanics theory has been carefully avoided, leaving the reader to make his own 
judgments based on the facts as they are presented.
