Geophysical exploraion / Геофизические поиски

This book is intended as a comprehensive survey of the entire field of geophysical exploration. The author has endeavored to present the subject in broad perspective, emphasizing the relations, differences, common features, and, above all, the fundamentals of geophysical methods. The material is divided into two parts of six chapters each. The first part, written in elementary language, addresses those desiring an insight into the working principles and geological applications of geophysical methods. It is intended for individuals in executive and geologic advisory capacity and for persons not directly concerned with field or laboratory operations. 
The second and major portion is written for the technical student of geophysics. It presents the subject from an engineering point of view, striving at a balanced discussion of theory, field technique, laboratory procedure, and geological interpretations. The author has aimed at a presentation that will enable the geophysicist to get an insight into the geologist’s reasoning in selecting geophysical methods and-in interpreting geophysical data, and that will acquaint the geologist with the mathematical and physical approach to instrument and interpretation problems.  <...>
