With a wealth of new information and evocat . ive new illustrations, this new edition takes its place as the most up-to-date and accessible introduction to earthquake science available. In addition, the book provides an engrossing look at how seismographic studies have helped us lessen the danger of earthquakes by enabling us to predict future quakes, explore the earth's interior, design earthquake-resistant structures (including schools and skyscrapers), and devise effective preparedness, survival and relief strategies. The book is suitable for introductory courses in geolop,,, earth sciences and environmental studies.
