An Introduction to Seismological Research Hardback: History and Development - Hardcover

"...an important and accessible contribution to the technical history of geophysics that is neither a traditional topical history nor textbook, but a valuable hybrid with historical and technical features...successfully seeks to acquaint the nonspecialists with the main facts and methods in the largely 20th century history of seismic geophysics....Professors, researchers, and graduate students will find Howell's work a valuable resource and example." Gerardo G. Tango, Earth Science History

"...a useful and readable introduction to seismology....I would recommend this book to any student who wanted to learn more about the history of seismology or, indeed, to any interested non-specialist." Timothy J. Clarke, Journal of Geological Education

"Howell has written an excellent book for newcomers to seismology, especially graduate students, who are inquisitive about the past history of the science and about what avenues of research might be pursued in the future. As such, the viewpoint of seismology that he offers is refreshingly different from that given in conventional textbooks." Henry Spall, Episodes
