Extraterrestrial Seismology

‘… extensive, interesting, and useful… This is the most widely embracing discussion of the subject between two covers, and can be useful to anyone involved in extraterrestrial seismology who wishes to improve their expertise by extending the arena of their knowledge beyond their own subdiscipline.’ Douglas Gough, The Observatory
