The second edition of this text not only takes into account contemporary developments in exploration geophysics, but also incorporates suggestions made by readers of the first edition. It includes chapters on radiometric surveying and geophysical borehole logging, and there are new sections on verticle seismic profiling, marine gravimeters, time domain electromagnetic methods, non-contacting resistivity measurements and ground penetrating radar. The treatment of three-dimensional seismic stratigraphy has been expanded. The authors have incorporated the application of the surveying methods into the relevant chapters on techniques rather than dealing with applications in a separate chapter. The references and suggestions for further reading have been brought up to date, and each main chapter concludes with a set of problems.

From Amethyst to Artesian Spring; from Zeolite to Zirconium, The Encyclopedia of the Solid Earth Sciences provides a comprehensive modern reference text for all the subdisciplines of the Earth sciences.The Encyclopedia is neither a short-entry dictionary nor a long-essay encyclopedia, but lies somewhere in between, with short entry definitions and longer articles reviewing the present state of knowledge across a huge range of topics and allowing any particular subject to be accessed to varying levels of detail; the longer entries provide general overviews of topics, and the short entries provide specific details on more specialized areas.Over 2700 head words are grouped into three main styles of entry: articles up to 1500 words on major topics, standard entries of up to a couple of hundred words, and brief definitions.However, the most important feature of the Encyclopedia which sets it apart from other similar books is the extent of cross referencing and the indexing: keywords are accompanied by synonyms; cross-reference to other particularly relevant keywords is made at the end of entries; keywords (for other entries) mentioned within entries appear in bold type; there are over 8000 index entries, including all keywords and more than 2750 other indexed entries; and index entries are shown in the text in italic type.The Encyclopedia is essential for professional Earth scientists, but will also be an important reference for students and those needing information on terms in current usage and state-of-the-art research.

Introduction to Geophysical Exploration

This new edition of the well-established Kearey and Brooks text is fully updated to reflect the important developments in geophysical methods since the production of the previous edition. The broad scope of previous editions is maintained, with even greater clarity of explanations from the revised text and extensively revised figures. Each of the major geophysical methods is treated systematically developing the theory behind the method and detailing the instrumentation, field data acquisition techniques, data processing and interpretation methods. The practical application of each method to such diverse exploration applications as petroleum, groundwater, engineering, environmental and forensic is shown by case histories. 
The mathematics required in order to understand the text is purposely kept to a minimum, so the book is suitable for courses taken in geophysics by all undergraduate students. It will also be of use to postgraduate students who might wish to include geophysics in their studies and to all professional geologists who wish to discover the breadth of the subject in connection with their own work.

Warmly praised in its first edition, particularly for its careful balance between geology and geophysics, Global Tectonics is an even better textbook in its second edition. 
Responding to reviews, comments from instructors and developments in the subject, the authors have significantly extended the book's breadth and restructured some sections. Expanded sections include those on the formation of oceanic crust, the variety of passive continental margins and the nature of convection in the mantle, and a new chapter draws together the material on continental rifts and sedimentary basins. <ul> <li>Written by very eminent authors. Fred Vine was one of the pioneers of plate tectonic theory. 
</li> <li>Careful balance between geology and geophysics. 
</li> <li>New section of full colour plates. 
</li> <li>Addition of a new chapter drawing together the coverage of continental rifts and sedimentary basins. 
</li> <li>Expanded coverage, particularly of deep seismic reflection, hot spots and petrogenesis.</li> </ul>
