Editorial Review:
This bookÕs abundant figures and exercises, combined with the straightforward, concise style of the book, put the essentials of geophysics well within reach of students whose primary training is in geology and who possess only a basic knowledge of physics. It is designed to introduce the principal geophysical phenomena and techniques—namely seismology, gravity, magnetism, and heat flow.

Textbook  2006-11-13
I am currently taking a geophysics class which requires this book and I am finding it to be very helpful. It explains the topics in great detail.
A great introduction to Geophysics 2000-11-21
This book achieves exactly what its title says it is - an introduction to geophysics. It balances math and physics with geoscience interpretation such that you don't need to be an expert to learn the main concepts of geophysics. For a science textbook it is extremely easy and enjoyable reading.
Geophysics Text That Really Works! 2000-03-16
Lillie has done the earth science and teaching professions an incredible service by writing this book. Whole Earth Geophysics is written and illustratoed in such a way that it encourages geology students and professionals to incorporate geohysics into their thinking about the earth. It is the link between discriptive courses in geology and quantitative geophysics courses that has been missing for a long time!
This book needs some serious review.  1999-05-07
No scale...horrible figures...this book was not written for geophysicists. This book was written in such a way as to confuse any student who has any working knowledge of physics and mathematics, let alone tectonics.
