‘Earthquakes’ awarded
PA Wellington A book on earthquakes which has won praise from both laymen and experts has been awarded the New Zealand Geophysics prize for 1981. . “Earthquakes," by G. A. Eiby, is an enlarged and updated version of an earlier work by Mr Eiby, who is a former superintendent of the Seismological Observatory. The prize is awarded annually by the geophysics section of the Royal Society of
New Zealand for the most meritorious publication on geophysics, either by a New Zealander or about the New Zealand region. The society’s prizes committee said the book was a masterly summary of a complex subject. It caught and held the attention of the layman and offered food for thought to experts. “Earthquakes” had favourable reviews in Europe and the United States, and is being translated into Russian.
