{"product_id":"critical-review-of-van-a-james-lighthill-9789810225421","title":"Critical Review of Van, A: Earthquake Prediction from Seismic Electrical Signals","description":"The acronym VAN refers to Drs Varotsos, Alexopoulos and Nomicos, members of a group based in the University of Athens and led by Professor Varotsos (head of the Physics Department) which for over a decade has sought to use electric-field measurements between electrodes buried in the earth to predict earthquakes in Greece over periods of order one month or less. But is such \"short-term\" prediction achievable by the VAN approach (or by any other)? This book is an objective collection of the arguments for -- and the counterarguments against -- that approach, intended to help scientific readers arrive at their own answers to this important question, as well as to others (including that of VAN's \"export\" potential).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Lighthill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9810225423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789810225421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"James Lighthill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659567051007,"sku":"9789810225421","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/critical-review-of-van-a-james-lighthill-9789810225421","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
