This monograph provides an up-to-date overview on methods and techniques in seismology with a
focus on describing and detecting seismic waves in anisotropic media. The author discusses
structural physical and mechanical aspects of the crust by analyzing earthquake data from
field studies rendering the book a practical reference for researchers in seismology and
applied geophysics. Contents:Rock Anisotropy Fracture and Earthquake AssessmentSeismic Wave
