By: Hough, Susan Elizabeth.
Material type:
BookPublisher: Hyderabad Universities Press 2005Description: xvii;238 6.5x9.5 pb.ISBN: 8173715254.Subject(s): EarthquakesDDC classification: 551.22 Summary: Earthshaking Science is the first book to really make sense of the dizzying array of information that has emerged in recent decades about earthquakes. Susan Hough separates fact from fiction. She fills in many of the blanks that remained after plate tectonics theory, in the 1960s, first gave us a rough idea of just what earthquakes are about. Because earthquake science is so new, it has rarely been presented outside of technical journals that are all but opaque to non-specialists. Earthshaking Science changes all this. It tackles the issues at the forefront of modern seismology in a way most readers can understand.
