#25: Dean Clark - Basic Geophysics

In this episode, Dean Clark discusses his new book, Basic Geophysics. Co-authored with Enders Robinson, the book takes us on a journey that shows how the achievements of our predecessors have paved the way for modern exploration seismology. From the ancient Greeks through the Enlightenment to the greats of the contemporary age, the reasoning behind basic principles is explored and clarified.
