Blackwell, 1989.-379 pp. ISBN
0865423350. This book is assembled the bits and pieces from a
variety of disciplines which are relevant to an understanding of
the Earth. Rocks and magmas are our most direct source of
information about the interior, but they are biased toward the
properties of the crust and shallow mantle. Seismology is our best
source of information about the deep interior; however, the
interpretation of seismic data for purposes other than purely
structural requires input from solid-state physics and experimental
petrology. Although this is not a book about seismology, it
uses
seismology in a variety of ways.

Beer T. (Ed.) Geophysical Hazards: Minimizing Risk, Maximizing Awareness
Springer Science+Business Media, 2010, 262 pages, ISBN: 9048132355. This volume, written by the Hazards Science Team of the International Year of Planet Earth, brings together some of the most influential international scientists dealing with Natural Hazards and Society’s response to natural hazards. It recognises that hazards, like poverty, will always be with us but that concerted and organised societal response can prevent a hazard becoming a...
Ferronsky V.I., Ferronsky S.V. Dynamics of the Earth: Theory of the Planet's Motion Based on Dynamic Equilibrium
Springer Science+Business Media, 2010, 299 pages In their search for solutions to problems concerning the dynamics of the Earth as a self-gravitating body, the authors have applied the fundamentals found in their book Jacobi Dynamics (1987, Reidel). First, satellite observations have shown that the Earth does not remain in hydrostatic equilibrium, which forms the physical basis of modern geodynamics. Secondly, satellite data have established a...
Guglielmi A.V., Pokhotelov O.A. Geoelectromagnetic waves
LOP Publishing Ltd, 1996. -397 pp. ISBN. 0750300523. This book is devoted to the theory of geoelectromagnetic oscillations and waves, i.e. waves of natural origin arising in the Earth's crust, in the ocean, in the atmosphere, in the ionosphere, in the magnetosphere and in the interplanetary medium in front of the magnetosphere. In order to read this book, one should have a basic knowledge of electrodynamics (standard educational course) and a g...
Lanza R., Meloni A. The Earth's Magnetism - An Introduction for Geologists
Springer, 2006. ISBN: 3540279792. Initially, this book reviews the general characteristics of the Earth’s magnetic field and the magnetic properties of minerals, and then proceeds to introduce the multifold applications of geomagnetism in earth sciences. The authors analyze the contribution of geomagnetism both in more general geological fields, such as tectonics and geodynamics, and in applied ones, such as prospecting and pollution. Primarily,...
Menke W. Geophysical Data Analysis: Discrete Inverse Theory
Academic Press, Revised Edition 1989, 289 Pages Every researcher in the applied sciences who has analyzed data has practiced inverse theory. Inverse theory is simply the set of methods used to extract useful inferences about the world from physical measurements. The fitting of a straight line to data involves a simple application of inverse theory. Tomography, popularized by the physician’s CAT scanner, uses it on a more sophisticated level. Th...
Merrill R.T., McElhinny M.W., McFadden Ph.L. The Magnetic Field of the Earth: Paleomagnetism, the Core, and the Deep Mantle
2nd edition, Acаdemic Prеss, 1996, 531 pages Topics involved in studies of the Earth's magnetic field and its secular variation range from the intricate observations of geomagnetism, to worldwide studies of archeomagnetism and paleomagnetism, through to the complex mathematics of dynamo theory. Traditionally these different aspects of geomagnetism have in the main been studied and presented in isolation from each other. This text draws together...
Roy K.K. Potential theory in applied geophysics
Springer, 2008. -671 pp. ISBN 9783540720898. This book originated mainly from M.Sc level class room teaching of three courses viz. Field Theory – I (Potential Theory), Field Theory -II (Electromagnetic Theory) and Inverse theory in the Department of Geology and Geophysics, I.I.T., Kharagpur, India. The prime motivation behind writing this book was to prepare a text cum reference book on Field Theory (Scalar and Vector Potentials and Inversion of...
Sidorenkov Nikolay S. The Interaction Between Earth's Rotation and Geophysical Processes
Wiley-VCH, 2009. ISBN-3527408754. Filling an important gap in the geophysical literature at specialist level, this monograph is the only up-to-date title to provide a link between the Earth's rotation and its atmo- and hydrosphere, including the ice masses. Starting with the Earth's motions, the text goes on to look at irregularities and the effect of atmospheric processes on the Earth's spin. Tides and seasons occupy the following sections befo...
