Active Tectonics
This text is appropriate for beginning undergraduate courses in active tectonics, geomorphology and natural hazards taught in either geology or geography departments. This text may also be of interest to city planners, seismic engineers, and other non-geologists.
Through lucid, carefully organized exposition, this text makes the study of active tectonics (earthquakes in the present and recent past) easily understandable. Extremely current throughout, this text thoroughly explores the effects of earthquakes and active tectonic systems on humans, geomorphic systems, and Earths topography. Complete with numerous case studies in a variety of regions, the very latest advances in the field, separate quantitative techniques boxed sections, and a host of pedagogical aids.
Paleoseismology
"Paleoseismology definitely is a useful resource for researchers working on paleoseismological problems. Citations are relevant and abundant, without being distracting, and the bibliography is comprehensive. The book will also be useful to non-paleoseismologists working on faults and fault-related processes...Paleoseismology is young [and the book] depicts this reality well: at the close of many sections and chapters the authors note areas that need more research. Because of the many summaries of possible directions for future research, even experts who read the book will find hidden treasures that previously may have been missed or forgotten. Keith I.
