Excellent- More about Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting
This classic treatise provides a unified treatment of earthquakes and faulting, emphasizing their connection through scaling laws and populations. The third edition covers new topics such as slow earthquake phenomena, friction, fault structures, and earthquake triggering, with a focus on subduction zones, deep earthquakes, and precursory phenomena.

This comprehensive guide, designed specifically for graduate students and researchers, offers a unified exploration of earthquakes and faulting as two integral components of brittle tectonics, spanning different temporal scales. The profound relationship between these two phenomena is evident through their shared scaling laws and populations, which emerge from the intricate processes of fracture growth and interactions among fractures. The governing dynamics of the connection between faults and the seismicity they generate are governed by rate- and state-dependent friction laws, resulting in diverse seismic styles of faulting and a wide array of earthquake phenomena, including aftershocks, afterslip, earthquake triggering, and slow slip events. In its third edition, this esteemed treatise presents a wealth of fresh topics and groundbreaking observations. These include the study of slow earthquake phenomena, the friction of phyllosilicates at high sliding velocities, fault structures, the relative roles of strong and seismogenic versus weak and creeping faults, dynamic triggering of earthquakes, oceanic earthquakes, megathrust earthquakes in subduction zones, deep earthquakes, and new insights into earthquake precursory phenomena. By delving into these diverse aspects, this edition serves as an invaluable resource for advancing our understanding of Earth's seismic dynamics and the mechanisms behind catastrophic earthquakes.
