Abstract
THIS book about earthquakes and their study, by an eminent American professor, living in a State occasionally visited by strong earthquakes, and teaching seismology in a university which introduced the subject to the United States, is a valuable, important and welcome addition to international seismological literature. The book is divided into two parts. The first seven chapters, Part 1, are on the subject of earthquakes and require little technical knowledge. Part 2, entitled seismography, presupposes readers with some preparation in mathematics and physics.
