Let \(k\) be a number field, \(v\) a place of \(k\), \(\alpha\) an algebraic number in the completion \(k_v\) of \(k\). The basic problem in effective diophantine approximation consists in giving an explicit lower bound for the distance \(|\alpha-\beta|_v\) from \(\alpha\) to any element \(\beta\) of \(k\). The paper under review carries on the program initiated by \textit{E. Bombieri} [Acta Math. 148, 255--296 (1982; Zbl 0505.10015)], consisting in applying the originally ineffective Thue method. Here the authors consider the case of cubic extensions, reducing the problem to simultaneous approximation of \(0,1,\infty\) in different places, similarly to \textit{D. Ridout}'s theorem [Mathematika 4, 125--131 (1957; Zbl 0079.27401)]. For instance they obtain for \(\alpha\) a root of \(x^3+px+q=0\), with \(p,q\) integers, \(p^3>q^6>\exp(3000)\), the effective irrationality measure \[ \mu= \frac{2\log(p^3)}{\log(p^3)-\log(q^2)}+ \frac{14}{\log(p^3)-\log(q^2)}. \]
