Synopses & Reviews
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 24 (The Handin Volume).
John Walter Handin was born June 27, 1919, in Salt Lake City, but his family moved soon thereafter to west Los Angeles, then a lovely and exciting place in which to grow up. The Santa Monica Mountains were a wilderness to be explored, and the Pacific surf could be dared for a dime's carfare.
