Description
The two volume
International Handbook of Earthquake and Engineering Seismology represents the International Association
of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior's (IASPEI) ambition to provide a comprehensive overview of our present knowledge of
earthquakes and seismology. This state-of-the-art work is the only reference to cover all aspects of seismology--a "resource library"
for civil and structural engineers, geologists, geophysicists, and seismologists in academia and industry around the globe.
Part
B, by more than 100 leading researchers from major institutions of science around the globe, features 34 chapters detailing
strong-motion seismology, earthquake engineering, quake prediction and hazards mitigation, as well as detailed reports from more than
40 nations. Includes chapters and CD-ROM-based content detailing practical resources for seismologists, including additional materials
from the printed chapters, a compilation of earthquake catalogs around the world, a global earthquake database with search and display
software, selected software for earthquake and engineering seismology, and digital imagery of faults, earthquakes, volcanoes and their
effects.
