The Seismic Wavefield provides a guide to the understanding of seismograms in terms of physical propagation processes within the Earth. The focus is on the observation of earthquakes and man-made sources, from the near source region out to thousands of kilometres from the source, for both body waves and surface waves. Most existing advanced textbooks on seismology deal mainly with the theory of seismic wave propagation, and only a few deal with the observations: The Seismic Wavefield is a comprehensive text that links theory with observation. Volume I provided an general introduction and a development of general theory; this material is exploited in Volume II to look at the way in which observed seismograms relate to the propagation processes.
