Recenzje

'Fundamentals of Geophysics is an excellent textbook and this third edition includes the most recent advances in geophysics while retaining a historical perspective. The new computer exercises are also a very welcome addition for a modern course in solid-earth geophysics. I highly recommend this book to every student - it makes for compelling reading.' Jeroen Ritsema, University of Michigan
