In 2016 Professor Stephen Hawking delivered the BBC Reith Lectures on a subject that has fascinated him for decades - black holes. In these flagship lectures the legendary physicist argues that if we could only understand black holes and how they challenge the very nature of space and time, we could unlock the secrets of the universe.

Inverse theory concerns the mathematical techniques that enable researchers to use the available information to build a model of the unknown system or to determine its essential properties. This book aims to provide a systematic development of inverse theory at the graduate and professional level. It is illustrated with examples from geophysics.

Finding viable solutions to many of the problems threatening our environment hinges on understanding the rocks below the earth's surface. This book discusses the physical properties of rocks, proceeding by chapter through mechanical, fluid flow, acoustical, electrical, dielectric, thermal, and magnetic properties.

Depicts an Earth whose interior is as active as its surface, and whose processes in the deep interior often control surface dynamics. This book discusses the importance of the hydrogen in water in determining the structure of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. It is intended for students of Earth sciences, materials sciences, and physics.

The theory of linear poroelasticity describes the interaction between mechanical effects and adding or removing fluid from rock. This book incorporates example problems from geomechanics, hydrogeology, and petroleum engineering to illustrate poroelastic behavior and solution methods for a variety of real-world scenarios.
