Following on from the international popularity of the \u003ci\u003efirst edition\u003c\/i\u003e, this new, revised, and much expanded edition contains additional case histories, and descriptions of geophysical techniques not previously included in such textbooks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe level of mathematics and physics is deliberately kept to a minimum but is described qualitatively within the text.
