Description

Memoir 60 

This title is a work in progress. Selected articles are available online from the Lyell Collection.

Intended for Earth scientists and historians of science, this well-illustrated book recounts the development of the understanding of magnetic, electric, gravitational, seismic, thermal, geodynamic and radioactive phenomena; the subsequent emergence of 'physics of the Earth' (which became ‘geophysics’) as a unique study area, and its instrumentation. Biographical information is given for many of the investigators.
