Description

The latest attempt to summarize the wealth of knowledge now available on geomagnetic phenomena has resulted in this comprehensive multi-volume treatise, with original up-to-date review articles from many distinguished experts. The third volume of this series covers two broad topics--the relevance of the Eatrh's magnetic field for geological studies and the physics of the upper atmosphere.
