Review
"In accordance with its title, the book by R. Sabadini and B. Vermeersen covers a variety of global processes that can be described by the normal-mode theory of viscoelastic relaxation for a spherical Earth. As such, it clearly fills a gap in today's geophysical literature. Whereas edited books or comprehensive reviews covering particular aspects of the application of normal mode theory - in particular glacial-isostatic adjustment - appeared in the past, an overview covering all aspects of its application has been missing. In addition, the publication of this book is also timely since - after a continuous development over more than 30 years - the normal-mode theory of viscoelastic relaxation has now reached a mature stage and approaches its limits. ... the authors have completed a thorough and rather comprehensive review of viscoelastic normal-mode theory and its applications. For this reason, their book can be recommended to graduate students and researchers wishing to gain access to this topic in a convenient way." (Detlef Wolf, IAG Newletter, March 2005)
"A remarkably broad suite of problems in global and regional dynamics can be tackled using the tools of normal model relaxation theory, including the analysis of geological and geodetic data related to 3-D crustal motions, gravity anomalies, post-seismic deformations, sea-level variations and long-term changes in rotation. This book provides an unusually accessible and comprehensive development of the theory and a very lucid description of applications that emphasize physical insight. It will serve as an authoritative resource for scientists at all levels who are active, or simply interested, in this increasingly rich research area, particularly as a host of exceptionally accurate modern techniques are being applied to constrain the evolution of the Earth system."
(Jerry X. Mitrovica, March 2004)
"This book provides a detailed and wide-ranging discussion of solid-Earth dynamics based on the theory of visco-elastic deformation using normal modes. A complete mathematical treatment of the underlying physics is presented and this will appeal to graduate students and researchers alike. The analytical treatment of deforming multi-layered Earth models will be of special interest as well as the many applications which include long-term global sea-level variations, earth rotation changes and post-seismic relaxation. The integration of such a wide range of topics in global dynamics will provide a useful basis for both teaching and research."
(Alessandro M. Forte)

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
