The ground beneath us is never quite still. Milne, a founder of modern seismology, explains how earthquakes are measured and what their motion reveals, from the theory of the shaking to observation in the field. Clear science from a pioneer of the instruments themselves. Understand the tremors that move the solid earth.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
