Review
"This second edition...reflects the most recent research on the natural magnetic fields in and surrounding the Earth arising from a variety of electric currents." Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
"...a good introduction for the nonspecialist." Subir K. Banerjee, Physics Today
"The book functions as an excellent textbook for a senior undergraduate or graduate course in geomagnetism. Furthermore, exploration geophysicists involved in magnetic prospecting should read the book to stay on top of their subject. The computer programs and the access to the listed databases are well worth the price of the book." SEG The Leading Edge
"...an excellent, up-to-date work...." Pure and Applied Geophysics

5.0 out of 5 stars
A classic!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Geomagnetic Fields (Hardcover)
This is a classic textbook from a renowned scientist. This book is mandatory to anyone that needs an introduction to the complex field of Geomagnetism. There are several other works on the subject but this new (second) edition includes some relevant updates from recent research, turning this one of the best available texts on the subject. My only complain is the huge difference in price between hardcover and paperback versions at Amazon (near U$100) that I found AFTER buying the hardcover edition.
