Characterizing it as more eclectic than comprehensive, more industrial than academic, and more chatty than stuffy, Liner (geosciences, U. of Tulsa) offers a textbook based on his course. He introduces seismic concepts for one and two dimensions then discusses three-dimensions from perspectives of historical and current shooting geometries; seismic survey predesign techniques; data processing including migration and dip moveout; and concepts and limitations of interpretations for structure, stratigraphy, and rock properties. The CD contains eight movies and demonstrations of programs to calculate quantities rapidly. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
