About the book*:

Gary G. Giusti is an author known for his work in developing practical guides for constructing scientific monitoring equipment. His most notable publication is How to Build Earthquake, Weather, and Solar Flare Monitors, which provides step-by-step instructions for building devices that monitor natural phenomena such as earthquakes, weather patterns, and solar flares. This book aims to educate readers on the science behind these occurrences and offers hands-on projects for enthusiasts interested in environmental monitoring.

Giusti's work is particularly valuable for hobbyists, educators, and students seeking to engage in practical science projects. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical application, his guides serve as a resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of Earth's dynamic systems through direct experimentation and observation.

We take a look at it to determine the book's condition. We ship in protective packing to ensure it arrives in the best possible shape during shipping.  publisher or retail store merchant price stickers, writing or residuals or original pricing imprints and those may not be indicative of and differ from current pricing. Used books may have original or owners name, etc written or stamped in book. Stickers such as original or old pricing, inventory, etc may still be on the book as well as spots where the sticker has been previously removed. We do our best to describe the book in the condition notes above as well. Subject to shelf wear, the picture is the actual item photo. If we have more than one, we will endeavor to show the worst book or list separately. Pricing is based on today's value and not old price stickers.

We pack and ship with care! We do this right, unlike some of the other mega warehouse sellers who really haven't even looked at the book and then toss it in a cheap bag for shipping. We do better than that, and we suspect you expect better if you collect and value good books.
