A second edition of this classic textbook on fundamental principles of geophysics for geoscience undergraduates.
Klappentext zu „Fundamentals of Geophysics “
This second edition of Fundamentals of Geophysics has been completely revised and updated, and is the ideal geophysics textbook for undergraduate students of geoscience with an introductory level of knowledge in physics and mathematics. It gives a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental principles of each major branch of geophysics, and presents geophysics within the wider context of plate tectonics, geodynamics and planetary science. Basic principles are explained with the aid of numerous figures and step-by-step mathematical treatments, and important geophysical results are illustrated with examples from the scientific literature. Text-boxes are used for auxiliary explanations and to handle topics of interest for more advanced students. This new edition also includes review questions at the end of each chapter to help assess the reader's understanding of the topics covered and quantitative exercises for more thorough evaluation. Solutions to the exercises and electronic copies of the figures are available at www.cambridge.org/9780521859028. Completely revised and updated, with review questions and exercises, this second edition is a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental principles of each major branch of geophysics. It is an ideal geophysics textbook for undergraduate students of geoscience. Additional resources can be found at www.cambridge.org/9780521859028.
