The book "Seismic studies of the earth's crust in the USSR" by I. Volvovsky is a fascinating and deep immersion in the world of geophysics and seismology, which will not leave indifferent either specialists or science lovers. Volvovsky, known for his outstanding research in the field of geology and seismic processes, offers readers a unique view of the methods and achievements that have been achieved in the USSR in this important scientific field. In his book, the author explores how seismic studies have become one of the key tools for understanding the structure and dynamics of the Earth's crust. He shares the results of many years of observations and experiments that were conducted in various regions of the country, from the Urals to Siberia. Readers will be able to learn about how seismic waves help not only in the study of earthquakes, but also in the search for minerals, as well as in the assessment of geological risks. The book will be of interest to both professional geophysicists and seismologists, as well as students studying geological sciences. It will also attract the attention of a wide range of readers interested in natural phenomena and their impact on human life. Volvovsky skillfully combines scientific facts with accessible language, which makes the material understandable and fascinating for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of the Earth and its internal structure. The topics raised in the book cover not only the technical aspects of seismic research, but also philosophical issues related to the interaction of man and nature. Volvovsky makes us think about how our understanding of the Earth can influence our future, and how important it is to take geological factors into account when planning urban infrastructure and environmental measures. This book is not just a scientific manual, it is a call to awareness of responsibility for our environment and the need to take care of the resources of the planet. Volvovsky's style is distinguished by clarity and logical presentation, which allows the reader to easily follow his thoughts and ideas. He masterfully uses examples from practice, which makes theoretical concepts more clear and understandable. Volvovsky is also known for his other works, such as Geology and Seismology: Theory and Practice, which are also noteworthy and can be an excellent addition to the "Seismic Studies of the Earth's Cortex in the USSR". This book will be a real find for those who want not only to expand their knowledge of geology, but also to understand how seismic research can affect our lives. It opens the door to a world where science intersects with practice, and where every discovery can have significant consequences.
