Translated (with corrections) from the French Geophysique appliquee; dictionnaire et plan d'etude (Masson, 1980). Provides access to explanations of 600 terms (arrangement is alphabetical) and allows for study of methods (all relevant pages are identified according to method) and for study of seismic reflection in modules a detailed plan of study identifying the pages that pertain to some 65 aspects of the subject is provided.

Geophysics, the excellent exploration tool which traditionally uses the latest techniques has been in great demand, and has assisted by remarkable development of the methods which consist of gravimetry, electromagnetics and, the most important, seismic reflection. The book is presented like an encyclopedia. One may find an exact definition, illustrated with simple sketches, precise formulae & orders of magnitude & data which have so often been missing.
