The State of the Planet: Frontiers and Challenges in GeophysicsRobert Stephen John Sparks, Christopher John Hawkesworth, EditorsCopublished with IUGGGeophysical Monograph Series, Volume 150, 2004, 410 pages, hardbound. ISBN 0-87590-415-7, AGU Code GM1504157List Price: $70.00 AGU Member Price: $49.00What does the 21st century hold for Earth system science and geophysics? How can we optimize past discoveries and current breakthroughs? What problems continue to defy resolution? This volume responds to such questions in 30 papers by leading scientists from selected core disciplines. Papers are derived from prestigious Union Symposia at the 2003 General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG).

Seismic Earth: Array Analysis of Broadband SeismogramsAlan Levander, Guust Nolet, Editors Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 157, 2005, 280 pages, hardbound. ISBN 0-87590-422-X, AGU Code: GM157422X. List Price: $80.00 AGU Member Price: $56.00By addressing the new means available to analyze data from large observational efforts—such as Canada’s POLARIS, the USArray, and similar projects in Europe and elsewhere—this monograph will quickly become an essential resource for solid Earth scientists across the globe.
