Review
' ... a well-written textbook which in its style and content provides a first class, sharp and well-focused introduction to geological geophysics. A very thorough and readable introduction to the principles and practice of exploration and solid earth geophysics ... gives the best coverage of geophysical case studies published to date ... deserves the highest recommendation. ... an excellent text for undergraduates in the Earth Sciences.' Professor Norman Hamilton, University of Southampton
'... uses a fresh, insightful, and comprehensive approach to overview geophysical methods and concepts. The treatment of this broad subject is thorough but is clearly written and does not get bogged down in details and mathematics. The illustrations are excellent.' Professor G. Randy Keller, University of Texas, El Paso
'... the most readable geologically oriented geophysical text on the market.' Professor Mike Dentith, University of Western Australia
'... an ambitious and impressive achievement, a successful overview of the whole field of solid earth geophysics from the smallest to the global scale. Logically structured and clearly written, the material is presented at a level accessible to the geological student with a limited physics and mathematics background. However it contains a wealth of information and comment and will unquestionably prove of value and interest to a much wider readership.' Professor D. H. Griffiths, University of Birmingham
'A clear, well illustrated text which usefully applies the principles examined.' Mineral Planning
'... an excellent introductory textbook in geophysics departments.' Europe and Astronomy
'... a terrific beginner's guide to the methods and applications of solid earth geophysics ... I recommend this book as an undergraduate text for prospective geophysicists, as background reading for introductory geophysics classes at the graduate level, and as a great reference for anyone working with geophysicists or planning to do so.' Rick Saltus, The Leading Edge
'... catered for a much wider audience ... I would think that anybody tackling third level courses might well find this a very useful adjunct ... the book does cover, one way or another, just about every aspect of earth science, for there are applications for geophysics that had not previously occurred to me ... Good book. Read it.' Jennifer S. Holt, OUGS Journal
'... more than an aid to learning, it is an advert for its subject, and should interest and appeal to a wide readership ... It should be on the shelves of every library, geophysics teacher and anyone taking an introductory course in geophysics, or who wants a sound readable introduction to the subject of geophysics on all its facets.' R. W. England, Geological Magazine

Terms of sale
We are pleased to receive orders via the Abebooks shopping basket. VISITS: PRIOR NOTICE is needed if you would like to PICK UP a book from our shop. Our listed books are not on the public access shelves, though duplicates might be. You could use Ask Bookseller a Question, beneath the book description, and type something like: Can I pick up this book at the weekend. This minimizes the keyboard work you need to do. Or communicate with us in any other way. Much of our stock will probably never be listed, as our shop is about the size of two tennis courts, so a visit can be rewarding. There are many good cheap cafes in Newtown, an emerging tourist area, close to the Sydney CBD, and many customers make a night of it.
