About this title

Review

'The authors have shown themselves to be masters of data compression ... The book is very well cross referenced, making fact finding easy ... Sheriff and Geldart have written an important book which is authoritative and complete yet manages to treat subjects in depth. It is difficult to imagine a better book on the subject and I am sure it will prove even more difficult to write one.' Geophysical Journal

'They will serve the needs of these readers admirably as a thorough and up-to-date treatment of all aspects of the subject ... Both volumes may be recommended unreservedly to everyone who is seriously interested in the subject ... They are likely to be a standard text for many years to come.' Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research

'Few people have done as much ... to demystify exploration seismology for geologists ... what I believe to be the most readable and most 'user-friendly' set of volumes on exploration seismology.' AAPG Bulletin

'The strengths of the set are the breadth of its coverage, the many excellent data examples, and the insight into a variety of practical matters ... chapters are largely independent of each other and the less analytically demanding ones can be usefully read on their own.' Seth Stein, Geological Sciences, Northwestern University
