  1. THREE DIMENSIONAL FILTERING: Environmental soundings image enhancement (TDF), 174 pages, another half finished book with lots of different fun data sets. I next teach GP-286 in fall '96.
  2. Basic Earth Imaging (BEI), book draft of 195 pages with Jim Black (of IBM) in '92-'93. Taught annually as GP-284 in spring quarter. In spring '96, I will teach it with Biondo Biondi .
  3. Earth Soundings Analysis: Processing versus Inversion (PVI), 1992, first 100 pages only, used in my classes on alternate years. I next teach GP-284 in fall '97.
  4. Imaging the Earth's Interior (IEI), 1985, 300 pages, out of print but here now!
  5. Fundamentals of Geophysical Data Processing (FGDP) 1976. First 9 of 11 original chapters. Some people say this book, my first one, is the most creative. Lots of scanned figures make this compact paper book a little bulky on the web.

Someday the illustrations in these books should be easily interactive on the web. At present, download and installation including software to build all the figures from scratch is possible. Less challenging is to install the books from CD-ROM. The first three books are available on CD-ROM for sponsoring companies of the Stanford Exploration Project and for prospective students. The CD-ROM book versions contain all software to make all figures. These experimental movies are now broken since our CGI changed. Samizdat Press offers free books on theoretical geophysics.

Free advice for speakers and writers.
