On the first edition: Reading this book has given me considerable pleasure. I have enjoyed its style and presentation of methodology and theory, although naturally the latter is short in an introductory text. I also enjoy the way the subject of geophysical exploration is organised, clarifying both general principles and special aspects and methods. I recommend this text to teachers and also to students for their self study. (Journal of Geophysics) This is a well balanced, clearly illustrated, modern introduction to geophysical exploration methods, which will provide students of all ages with a sound understanding of the principal techniques and the wide range of their applications in resource exploration and engineering geology.
