The book can be freely downloaded from the ANU E-Press site, or  
alternatively copies can be produced through a print on demand system  
for A$24.95 plus postage and packing.

Seismic Wave Propagation in Stratified Media presents a systematic  
treatment of the interaction of seismic waves with Earth structure.  
The theoretical development is physically based and is closely tied to  
the nature of the seismograms observed across a wide range of distance  
scales – from a few kilometres as in shallow reflection work for  
geophysical prospecting, to many thousands of kilometres for major  
earthquakes. A unified framework is presented for all classes of  
seismic phenomena, for both body waves and surface waves.

Since its first publication in 1983 this book has been an important  
resource for understanding the way in which seismic waves can be  
understood in terms of reflection and transmission properties of Earth  
models, and how complete theoretical seismograms can be calculated.  
The methods allow the development of specific approximations that  
allow concentration on different seismic arrivals and hence provide a  
direct tie to seismic observations.
