Recensione

'This superb textbook manages to bear the weight of the complex mathematics associated with the study of the Earth's surface and interior. William Lowrie simplifies the maths to about second-year degree level ... An excellent textbook.' David Hughes, New Scientist

'... this book is a very welcome addition to available texts in the area of solid earth geophysics ...'. Allan Trench, The Australian Geologist

'This will be a useful book for its target audience of undergraduates in earth science who need an understanding of how geophysics may be used to help understand the Earth. It is particularly useful for the quality and up-to-date nature of its diagrams and illustrations, and will serve as a helpful text in teaching students.' Robert. S. White, Geology Magazine

' ... it will have a place on my bookshelf'. Martin Howard, OUGS Journal

'The book is well illustrated and clearly presented. I have already found it helpful in teaching second-year geology students and have no doubt that it will be a useful reference book for underf=graduates. It provides good coverage of the main geophysical techniques and their application to understanding the Earth. ...
