Presenting a comprehensive introduction to the propagation of high-frequency body-waves in elastodynamics, this volume develops the theory of seismic wave propagation in acoustic, elastic and anisotropic media to allow seismic waves to be modelled in complex, realistic three-dimensional Earth models. The book is a text for graduate courses in theoretical seismology, and a reference for all academic and industrial seismologists using numerical modelling methods. Exercises and suggestions for further reading are included in each chapter.

Globalisation of world trade, international media, technological innovation and social change are creating opportunities and challenges that today's pupils will inherit and build on. A pupil's academic, technical and social capacity will define their success or failure. Therefore, educational outcomes and well-being for young people across emerging and developed economies and the crucial role of education and leaders of education has never been more important. Schools are under pressure to think more clearly about their place in children's lives beyond the passage of learning in classrooms....

Life is joyful, beautiful and a rich blessing, but also difficult, painful and mysterious. This profound and practical book looks at how the Christian spiritual tradition has tried to understand the part suffering plays within human growth and our experience of God.

Since 2009 photographer Nikki Toole has been making photographic portraits of skateboarders around the world. The seventy black and white portaits in the book include professional and amateur skateboarders from the United States, England, Australia, Germany, Czech Republic, and Italy. The unique focus of this art project is an exploration of the mindset, the culture and the sense of self identity of being a skater--no matter what age or nationality the subjects are. Each skater stands facing the camera while calling to mind the mental zone they found while skating.
