Rezension zu „Active Faults of the World “
Advance praise: 'An astonishing achievement ... extraordinarily comprehensive and well illustrated with seismological and geodetic data. It will remain a reliable introduction to the context of advances in the field, and how to use them.' James Jackson, University of Cambridge 'This ambitious compilation of all that is known of the surface faults of our planet will be a reference work for many years to come.' Roger Bilham, University of Colorado, Boulder 'Clearly written and highly illustrated ... this is essential reading for anyone tasked with protecting at-risk populations or infrastructure prone to earthquakes.' Gerald Roberts, Birkbeck, University of London 'Robert Yeats provides comprehensive geographical coverage which remains accessible by providing context throughout ... an essential reference not only for academics and students, but also practitioners in engineering geology, civil engineering and planning.' Ken McCaffrey, Durham University
