DESCRIPTION:
Exercises and suggestions for further reading are included in each chapter.. 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
It will be a definitive reference work for a long time to come." The Leading Edge"This is a significant accomplishment for what can easily be a difficult subject, and speaks volumes for the author's intimate expertise with the material." EOS-Transactions, AGU . "This fine volume represents a welcome addition to the growing number of recent books dealing with various aspects of seismic wave propagation theorya veritable treasure trove of seismic high-frequency forward modeling techniques
"Mostly theoretical, little practical value" according to Luger. I am a geophysicist who develops practical software to manipulate seismic waves for oil exploration. I would say this book is useless for most of people in my field. The title is "wave propagation", but the book is all about ray, which is a high frequency approximation of waves. Most of the topics in the book are irrelevant to any thing that can be used by a practitioner of geophysics.
