The Solid Earth: An Introduction to Global Geophysics

Customer Reviews:

Helpful for early undergraduates

By Heather J. Hooper "Seismo Girl" - March 27, 2008

This was a required textbook for one of my first undergraduate courses in geophysics, and it was incredibly exciting to read. It brought a lot of things together for me, so that I finally understood the linkages between all the things we were learning about. A classic in the field. Most of my PhD colleagues have this on their shelf and refer to it with affection.

Met stated timeline

By J. Whitten "RockLover" - October 8, 2012

The book arrived in perfect condition. It was brand new and exactly what I wanted. It even arrived in the estimated delivery window. The only reason I do not give this an excellent rating is because I think that time window is slightly wrong. The estimated date of arrival was one month to 1.5 months. Seems like a long time...but otherwise this place is great!
