i don't think this book needs to be introduced,but:
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
These authors present much sought after information on the design procedures for seismically isolated structures. Using a logical progression, they describe seismic isolation along with the concepts of earthquake structural dynamics underlying the isolation theory. Methods discussed will provide the basis for continuing development and refinement.

Skinner et al. book on seismic isolation is much more than an introduction, is a must to anyone interested on the subjects of seismic isolation and passive energy dissipation. The book is quite complete, and it is easy to read (if you do not mind NZ English), both for students or experienced professionals or professors. All chapters have basic and advanced material. The book is not married with a single base isolation system, a difference with other books available on this topic. I am looking forward to a second edition of this book that may add some new material on the development of other isolation devices and design methods that have been proposed during the last seven years.
------------------------
Written by the precursors of modern seismic isolation technology, "An Introduction to seismic isolation" is one of the most challenging treatments in structural dynamics so far. Skinner et al first introduce the reader to the concept of seismic isolation as a whole, explaining the philosophy behind this technique, followed by a brief review of the structural dynamics theory needed for the basic understanding of the more specifically mathematical explanations in chapter 4, where the equations of motion for the theoretical models are explicitly derived. Here, the authors make the difference, providing a good treatment in which a high mathematical understanding level is required. Chapter 3 is a complete description of the different seismic isolation systems available, describing their controlling parameters, composition, tested performance and analytical models for design. Chapter 5 is an excellent guide for analysis and design, from a more practical point of view. Chapter 6 is simply a description of some of the more prominent seismic isolation projects worldwide. Until now, the best reference, sophisticated yet understandable bibliography about seismic isolation.
