"The two-volume International Handbook of Earthquake and Engineering Seismology is
an encyclopedic overview of our present knowledge of earthquakes and engineering seismology.
... This comprehensive set is a resource library for structural engineers, geologists,
geophysicists, seismologists, and other scientists and engineers with an interest
in earthquakes."--BOOK JACKET, pt. A ; "Part A of the Handboook ... features 56 full-length
chapters detailing the history of seismology, theoeretical and observational seismology,
earthquake geology and mechanics, seismicity of the earth, and the Earth's structure."--BOOK
JACKET, pt. A ; "Part B of the Handbook ... features 34 chapters detailing strong-motion
seismology, earthquake engineering, quake prediction and hazards mitigation, and several
detailed appendices."--BOOK JACKET, pt. B ; "The materials on ... [CD #1] contain
supplemental information for Chapters 1-56, and are divided into six categories: (1)
full manuscripts of which only abridged versions are included in Part A due to space
limitations, (2) large data sets for further data processing and analysis, (3) full
references of which only abridged versions are included in Part A, (3) appendices
and figures, (5) out-of-print books presented in computer-readable files, and (6)
graphics files used to create the Handbook Part A ... However, some chapters do not
have materials for archiving." "The materials on ... [CD #2] and ... [CD #3] contain
supplemental information for chapters 60-90 (please note that some chapters do not
have materials for archiving) and Appendix 3. ... the graphics used to create Handbook
part B are provided ..."--Page 1893, v. 2
