This book may be useful to late stage geophysics undergraduates or graduate students, or to seismic processors who would like to understand theory behind isotropic or anisotropic processing. It is a book published in 2004 that is full of the pleasant air, turn-of-phrase and conceptual images of a text written in by-gone times. It covers topics at a manageable pace, is easy to read while traversing fairly advanced processing concepts, and the final 200 pages convey information almost flawlessly. Yet, in the first 200 pages the reader constantly stumbles across editorial over-sights concerning language, formatting and consistency of notation. The author introduces most of the classic papers in each area of seismic processing in their proper historical context, but does little to consolidate the different proposed forms of anisotropic theory into a single theoretical framework. Consequently, this review is mixed, conveying many positive aspects but also a few that are particularly detrimental. The latter render the book difficult to recommend in its current form. My conclusion is that while it fills a useful niche, it badly requires a second edition in which the many errors have been corrected.
