Reviews

The coverage is thorough and provides an up-to-date overview of current activity.... The editors have succeeded in getting a much more extensive dicussion of the reliability of results than is usually encountered. - Nature; comprehensive and well-illustrated... demonstrates that seismologists, with their internal exploration techniques, are in the process of becoming the 'doctors of the Earth' - Geotechnique; The book, with its well illustrated innumerable case histories of application will prove to be a good reference book...It truly provides a launching pad' to enter the next century - Journal of the Geological Society
