Objections to a CTBT have been political, technical, or a combination  of both. However, the possibilities seem better after the end of the  Cold War. In the prevailing, cooperative disarmament climate a CTBT  appears likely to be approved by most countries in 1996. Hence the  great current interest in monitoring technologies and capabilities.  \u003cbr\u003e  Such issues are comprehensively addressed here, a preamble being  devoted to the political developments and setbacks over the past 40  years. Since seismic means are considered the dominant monitoring  element, they are explored in detail. Contributions cover network  deployments, advanced signal processing, wave propagation in  heterogeneous media, and seismic source representations, and a variety  of techniques for source classification (including neuralnetworks).  Complementary monitoring techniques, such as hydroacoustics,  radionuclides and infrasound, are also summarised. The IAEA operation  for monitoring compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty is also  presented. \u003cbr\u003e  The book also includes eyewitness accounts of the Soviet 50 Mt  megabomb development and test, as well as the efforts made by the  state to monitor the nuclear test programmes of the western powers.  Includes some 33 articles written by distinguished scientists active  in CTBT monitoring research for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792338116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0419-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 836\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311728152716,"sku":"9780792338116","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792338116.jpg?v=1771511604","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792338116","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
