5.0 out of 5 stars The earth as physics, January 19, 2005

This review is from: Physics of the Earth

I have to declare interest on this one. Prof Frank Stacey (retired now) was my lecturer in Earth Physics at U of Q in the late 60s. I have the 1st edition of his book. The treatment is at a fairly advanced level and you do need a good grasp of the maths to follow his arguments in detail. The rewards are immense - a better understanding of the dynamic earth, tectonics, earth magnetism and the seismic earth. I've not seen the 1992 edition - tempting!
