First sentence: The region of the earth down to about 100 km is called the lithosphere.
Description: Recent developments in seismic wave propagation and scattering through the randomly heterogeneous structure of the Earth, with emphasis on the lithosphere. Includes introduction to theory of scattering in acoustic and elastic materials, as well as analyses of observations using theoretical methods developed.  For advanced undergraduates or graduate students in geophysics or planetary sciences.
