4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, July 12, 2000

This review is from: Exploration Geophysics of the Shallow Subsurface (Textbook Binding)
The book is very detailed. Seismic theory and practice is quite cogent and is the strongest area (about half the book). Strong descriptions are given on; Electrical Resistivity, Gravity, and Magnetics. IP, Spontaineous Potential, Magnetotelluric and Telluric and EM Surveying are barely mentioned. Not mentioned are; VLF, Ground Penetrating Radar, Remote Sensing and Radiometrics. I agree with the previous reviewer that it would be nice to have the Xcel spread sheets in both Mac & PC formats.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is marvelous, May 6, 1999

This review is from: Exploration Geophysics of the Shallow Subsurface (Textbook Binding)
Excellent book for upper level undergraduate and graduate students in shallow geophysics. My only wish is that the disks could also be in IBM format and not only Mac format.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is how textbooks should be written!, August 30, 2003

This review is from: Exploration Geophysics of the Shallow Subsurface (Textbook Binding)
Of the 5 books I own that explain Seismic Refraction principles, Professor Burger is the only one who took the time to walk you thru step-by-step on interpreting a Seismogram. That is the sign of a true teacher and an Author who's not afraid of a little extra effort to help his students practically apply the knowlege. I only wish I lived closer to attend his classes!
I do agree with the others in that an IBM PC version of the diskettes is long overdue, but this book still gets my 5 star rating!

Excellent purchase!
The book arrived a little bit late (about 2 days late) than expected but with the condition as described by the seller.
