Review
"This second edition...reflects the most recent research on the natural magnetic fields in and surrounding the Earth arising from a variety of electric currents." Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society"...a good introduction for the nonspecialist." Subir K. Banerjee, Physics Today"The book functions as an excellent textbook for a senior undergraduate or graduate course in geomagnetism. Furthermore, exploration geophysicists involved in magnetic prospecting should read the book to stay on top of their subject. The computer programs and the access to the listed databases are well worth the price of the book." SEG The Leading Edge
