“Readers are provided not only with exhaustive descriptions of the underlying theory but also with abundant detail about the computations required to produce the book’s many illustrative examples. … book is illustrated with fine color figures, which effectively illustrate the mathematics used to produce them. … key reference for those actively working in this area as well as for those ... Read morelike myself, who on occasion should recall that our real earth is neither perfectly elastic, nor perfectly homogeneous and isotropic.” (Sven Treitel, The Leading Edge, October, 2017) “The detailed illustrations and equally detailed descriptions of the examples are an effective way to guide the geophysical community to an understandingof the main features of the theory’s applications and of the noteworthy numerical results. Thus, while the book is a quite valuable reference work for specialists, it also turns out to be an excellent reference for those working in other areas of geophysical research.” (Oscar Lovera, The Leading Edge, October, 2018) “This book is a great addition to the collectionof books on wave propagation and numerical simulations. … we find the book to be a very useful read and would recommend it to students and researchers actively working in the area. This book is certainly an important reference that provides a succinct description of numerical simulations of wave propagation in real media.” (Mrinal K.
