This book describes one methodology for interpretation of prestack seismic reflection data amplitudes to yield a probabilistic distribution of lithology and pore fluid information in the subsurface. The authors state that one of their principal aims is to ‘improve interaction between geologically and geophysically inclined seismic interpreters’. In this respect I think the book succeeds admirably. It is relatively easy to read and is complete with over 60 colour plates, 300 references and an index. The text and figures are of excellent quality and there is only a handful of typographic errors. Pitfalls and major summary points within the text are . . . [Full Text of this Article]
