Review
"Now brought up to date throughout, this book will remain "The Bible" of the subject for years to come." -- Bruce R. Julian, USGS
"Still the preeminent text on analytic theory and methods in seismology." -- D.J. Andrews, USGS
"This text deserves a place in every serious geophysicist's library." -- The Leading Edge, March 2003
Product Description
This new edition of the classic text by Aki and Richards has at last been updated throughout to systematically explain key concepts in seismology. Now in one volume, the book provides a unified treatment of seismological methods that will be of use to advanced students, seismologists, and scientists and engineers working in all areas of seismology.
