Clear and Concise by an Engineer

April 4, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is incredibly well written. I have never had a Geo book that was so helpful and easy to understand. I was hesitant about the price at first but now I realize it was such a good investment. For each chapter you can really look at the diagrams and know what is going on, being a visual learner myself this was extremely helpful. The sections do not go on long rants and are very direct about the topics. Although when they are explaining the equations in sections I would have arranged it a bit differently but that is just the engineer in me. Overall an excellent book I will be using for a long time.

Great book for introductory geophysics, but a little geology background is needed to full understand

I just got the book today and have not opened it. Amazon says that they were shipping me a hardcover book and they sent me a paperback book. Still has the same stuff but people should know what they are getting.

A Geophysics textbook written for humans to understand

April 17, 2010

Format: Paperback

My friend is doing her Masters in Geoscience. She recommended I buy this textbook. She had bought and read the 3 textbooks recommended for her Geophysics subject and couldn't understand any of them. She couldn't even understand the lecture notes and was starting to despair.

Then another friend recommended she read this book. As she started reading, she found herself saying: "Now why didn't the other textbooks just say that! Why did they have to make things so difficult and complicated?"

You don't need any prior knowledge of Geophysics to understand this textbook. You don't even need a science background. (I sure didn't have one!) It doesn't use big scientific words. It is written in English for humans to understand.

If you want a stress-free way to pass Geophysics, even get a High Distinction, I cannot recommend this textbook highly enough.

Would you pay $90+ to guarantee you passed Geophysics? I did. (Thank you Sophie for recommending it!!! You were right!)

Geophysics Text That Really Works!

March 16, 2000

Format: Paperback

Lillie has done the earth science and teaching professions an incredible service by writing this book. Whole Earth Geophysics is written and illustratoed in such a way that it encourages geology students and professionals to incorporate geohysics into their thinking about the earth. It is the link between discriptive courses in geology and quantitative geophysics courses that has been missing for a long time!

A great introduction to Geophysics

November 20, 2000

Format: Paperback

This book achieves exactly what its title says it is - an introduction to geophysics. It balances math and physics with geoscience interpretation such that you don't need to be an expert to learn the main concepts of geophysics. For a science textbook it is extremely easy and enjoyable reading.

Not a thorough Geophysics book.

This book was written by a kind-hearted, decent, incredibly knowledgeable geologist. He is an asset to the Oregon State University geology department.Read more

I am currently taking a geophysics class which requires this book and I am finding it to be very helpful. It explains the topics in great detail.

This book needs some serious review.

No scale...horrible figures...this book was not written for geophysicists. This book was written in such a way as to confuse any student who has any working knowledge of physics...Read more
