Parkinson, W D

This book examines a wide range of subjects in geomagnetism. It presents a brief introduction to physical principles of magnetism, and then focuses on the properties of the geomagnetic field as the sum of four interrelated phenomena: the main field, the local or crustal field, the external field, and the induced field. Additional topics, including paleomagnetism and magnetic methods in exploration, and the history of geomagnetism, are also discussed.
