For those who eat, drink, and sleep earthquake geology, this book is valuable and pleasurable.
It will help crystallize new research ideas and inspire new approaches to long-forgotten paleoseismic sites...In summary, Paleoseismology is a great resource if you want to find out what paleoseismology is all about, brush up on long-forgotten concepts, explore new or different techniques, or get a feel for where the science is headed. It should be on every paleoseismologist's bookshelf." -- KEITH I. KELSON, Lettis & Associates, Inc.
"Paleoseismology is a turning point in this young but rapidly maturing disipline. The volume consists of nine chapters, with contributions from the editor in six of them. The first chapter, Introduction to Paleoseismology, is a careful and detailed analysis of issues related to paleoseismology. Other chapters cover field techniques; paleoseismology in several types of environments, including extensional, compressional, and strike-slip tectonic environments; using landslides for paleoseismic analysis; and applying paleoseismic data to seismic hazard assessment and neotectonic research...The list of references reported at the end of the volume gives the book the feel of a well-organised book and not a simple collection of papers...A reference tool not only for new students but also for experienced specialists for years to come." -- Leonello Serva, National Agency for the Protection of the Environment, Rome, Italy, in EOS
"James McCalpin and his co-authors have made a major contribution to the literature of paleoseismology with this book. It is clearly the reference of choice to date in this exciting field...This book contains the most comprehensive set of citations I have seen in the paleoseismology literature...This is a wonderful book that will be used as a basic source for a generation." -- ENVIRONMENTAL & ENGINEERING GEOSCIENCE
