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
before a discussion of the Earth-ocean-atmosphere system and the
mechanical action of the atmosphere on the Earth's rotation. The
whole is rounded off by an index of abbreviations and appendices
with sections on related physics for better readability, plus a
comprehensive bibliography for further reading.
A must for geophysicists, oceanographers, glaciologists,
climatologists and meteorologists alike.

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...
