"By frankly taking the point of view of a participating seismologist, this book is a fresh contribution to the shelf of science for the public."--"I know of no other book for the general public that presents seismic hazards better than "Earthshaking Science," It offers a great deal to commend: Hough conveys the big picture really well, and hits the nail on the head with important details."--"This book is a major contribution to its field, and an excellent summary of our current approaches to understanding earthquakes. All geoscientists should find it a stimulating read, and others with a reasonable grounding in science will be well rewarded for the time spent with it."--

En este último tomo se realiza el estudio teórico y práctico del Sistema de Perspectiva Cónica.Contiene gran número de ejercicios resueltos y para resolver.

Este precioso libro no sólo es una guía de campo y un manual de técnicas de muestreo, recolección y preparación, sino un auténtico tratado de amor a la naturaleza y a sus pobladores.
