"An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes, and Earth
Structure belongs on the shelf of every seismologist...a
fantastic resource for interesting examples, challenging problems,
added coverage for selected topics, and as a general reference
resource. This book is destined to become a classic."
--Clifford Thurber, University of Wisconsin, Madison, EOS
Transactions, June 2003
"All in all, it is an indispensable reference for serious
students of solid-Earth geophysics."
--Heidi Houston, UCLA, Physics Today, October 2003
"...the authors' methodical approach and transition through the
subject make it a suitable text with which to build on
undergraduate studies...If you have found seismology and earth
structure an interesting aspect of your earth science studies this
book is a valuable next step, supporting the authors' contention
that seismology should be part of the education of every solid
earth scientist." (The Open University Geological Society
Journal, May 2004)
"There is no doubt that the publication is a valuable learning
tool for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students and
a useful reference book not only for seismologists but also for
solid earth scientists in general." (The Eggs.org (Newsletter of
the EGU), September 2004)
"This is an extremely well-written, innovative and well-received
overview-cum-textbook for use by first-year graduate students. The
approach is more modern and useful than other available seismology
textbooks." (Natural Hazards, April 2005)
"In spite of the fact that the book has been written as a textbook, it also makes a good addition to any geophysicist's bookshelf as a 'quick reference' as the clear writing makes it easy to absorb information quickly when reading out of sequence." (Surveys in Geophysics)
