a basic knowledge of the principles of geophysical prospecting and an understanding of how geophysical methods can be used in problems of site investigation, geological structure, and prospecting for minerals. If such a book is to be kept within reasonable bounds and price, examples of actual surveys must be severely curtailed, the emphasis being laid on the exposition of principles and basic techniques. The authors, who have been teaching geophysics for the M.Sc. degree for some ten years, have expounded the basic principles admirably. They have, however, pruned the applications too drastically, only providing three or four examples of actual surveys, and these are limited to the seismic and gravity methods. There are no examples of electrical resistivity 'prospecting' and none of magnetic surveys. Many useful references are given, and the reader can thus study actual surveys elsewhere, but, in the reviewer's opinion, the value of this book would have been even greater if some more surveys, including actual site investigations, had been described. This need have added only some 10-20 pages to the book. After a general introduction, chapters 2 and 3 describe the resistivity method;
