Description

Book Synopsis
A work on extracting and using rock and paleomagnetic data in archaeological, geological, and geophysical applications. It describes both the theory and the practice of paleomagnetism, covering topics such as the basics of magnetism, geomagnetic fields, how rocks become magnetized, and the various ways of analyzing the magnetism of rocks.

Trade Review
"It should be on the bookshelf of anyone who calls themselves a palaeomagnetist." Geological Magazine "Lives up to its title and does so in a manner that authors of modern science textbooks should seek to emulate." Eos Transactions
