Description Modern scientific investigations of earthquakes began in the 1880s, and the International Association of Seismology was organized in 1901
to promote collaboration of scientists and engineers in studying earthquakes. The International Handbook of Earthquake and Engineering
Seismology, under the auspices of the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior (IASPEI),
was prepared by leading experts under a distinguished international advisory board and team of editors.
The content is organized into
56 chapters and includes over 430 figures, 24 of which are in color. This reference is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing historical
and scientific information about earth motion, a global earthquake database, and an extensive database of seismicity.
This large-format,
comprehensive reference summarizes well-established facts, reviews relevant theories, surveys useful methods and techniques, and documents
and archives basic seismic data. It will be the authoritative reference for scientists and engineers and a quick and handy reference
for seismologists.
Also available is The International Handbook of Earthquake and Engineering Seismology, Part B.
Audience
Geophysicists, engineers, seismologists, and geologists in academia and industry.
