J.E. White concerns himself, as stated in the Introduction, with naturally and artificially generated seismic waves, the properties of the rock they travel through, and the methods used to generate and detect them. He discusses these in terms of models of earth materials which can include the effects of porosity, layering, direction of travel, loss mechanisms, and a number of other phenomena. Although the emphasis is definitely on borehole methods, attention is given to surface problems, and many of the data examples cited are surface recordings. Some needed mathematical tools, such as Fourier transforms and convolution, are briefly introduced in chapter 1. For the most part, his stated aim is to avoid the use of vector operators and tensor notation, although the lack of these methods may cause some readers to have difficulty connecting specific relations with general presentations from other sources. He steadfastly sticks to this goal, but the book is still laden with imposing math. Following in chapter 2 is a general discussion of plane waves and plane boundaries. This section covers the groundwork with which most readers will be very familiar.
