Abstract

Like many of us, John Reynolds, the author of this comprehensive introductory geophysical textbook, has struggled with the challenge of teaching geophysics to students possessing only very basic mathematical skills and a limited background in physics.Reynolds found that many of his students struggled to comprehend the mainstream geophysical textbooks and quickly tagged geophysics as a 'hard subject', best avoided.As a consultant, Reynolds also found it difficult to find an appropriate book that demonstrated to his industry clients the many ways in which geophysics could be used in applied and environmental applications.
