The material is accessible for all graduate students in physics, chemistry, applied mathematics, and engineering. It would also serve well as a textbook for an advanced graduate course.' Colin R. Meyer, Pure and Applied Geophysics 'The book is encyclopaedic in its coverage, supported by more than six hundred references. It is very well written ... and will be a welcome addition to those with an interest in the subject.' N.
