The Magnetic Field of the Earth (International Geophysics Series (Reprint))
Editorial Reviews
Review
"It represents an excellent effort...and is probably the most up-to-date work available on Earth's magnetic field....The specific terms used are well explained and the mathematics are not overwhelming. For students beginning studies in the field of geophysics and the earth's interior, it is essential."
--CHOICE
"This work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the geomagnetic field. In addition, it has many useful descriptions of related topics that are recommended reading for anyone wishing to understand better the structures and processes within our planet."
--AMERICAN SCIENTIST
"This book together with those by Opdyke and Channell and Backus et al. make a modern trilogy in geomagnetism. They should stand on the bookshelf of everyone who is not only interested in geomagnetism, but also in the integrated view of the earth as a globe. Therefore they all are standing on mine."
--Marek Lewandowski in PURE AND APPLIED GEOPHYSICS
"Combines aspects of geomagnetism, such as archeomagnetism, tectonics, paleomagnetism, and dynamo theory, in an integrated framework, highlighting their interrelationships. Discusses the development and analysis of geomagnetic reversals in detail, emphasising the role of geomagnetism in studies of the Earth's deep interior, with chapters on the history of the subject, the present geomagnetic field, the time-averaged paleomagnetic field, processes and properties of the Earth's deep interior, and the magnetic fields of the sun, moon, and planets. Includes examples of synthesis of various theories, and mathematical appendices. For observationalists and theoreticians in the field."
