Imagine my surprise in seeing this text listed. I was a (late) graduate student enrolled in the earthquake engineering program at Washington University in St. Louis where I had seismology with Dr. Wysession. At the time we didn't have a book but used the manuscript from the "soon to be published" text. Along with the other graduate students - it was our job to read each section and provide comments on the text and, of course, to complete nearly all homework problems. Having spent so much time with this text, I can tell you that it is very readable and interesting. I say that as an outsider as I don't have a background in geological sciences. My background is in structural and solid mechanics. The latter made the material very easy to read and understand. I highly recommend the text to any one contemplating a new seismology book.
