Abstract
THIS book is intended to serve as an introductory textbook, of not too difficult character, covering the whole field of applied geophysics in a systematic manner, for the use of students?physicists, geologists, mining engineers, surveyors?who desire to be acquainted with this important branch of science. It is written from a definitely practical point of view and with practical aims, and theoretical development and proofs of formulae are kept within narrow limits. It is about equally divided between the gravimetric, magnetic, electric and seismic methods; in each case an account is given of the physical principles underlying the method, the instruments used and the way in which they are employed, the method of reducing the observations and making deductions from them, with practical examples and a description of typical surveys and results obtained, with references. The book well serves its purpose as a comprehensive introductory textbook.
