This book investigates the complex interplay between Earth's internal structure and the behavior of seismic waves. It delves into how variations in seismic velocity and attenuation within the Earth's mantle and crust affect wave propagation, focusing on scattering phenomena. The work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these effects for seismologists and geophysicists.

This monograph is recognized as a significant contribution to the field of seismology, offering a detailed theoretical and observational treatment of seismic wave scattering. Its rigorous approach and comprehensive scope make it a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students seeking to understand the complexities of seismic wave propagation through heterogeneous Earth structures. The work is expected to be a foundational text for those involved in seismic data analysis and Earth structure modeling.
