Description

Book Synopsis
Shows that geomagnetism is an enduring area of science, one that offers answers to some of the biggest questions about our planet's past - and maybe even its future. Suitable for those who have struggled with a compass or admired a ragged V of migrating geese, this book demonstrates that education and entertainment need not be polar opposites.

Trade Review
"If you're looking for a gift for a self-described geek drawn to science books like an iron filing to a magnet, then consider Our Magnetic Earth, a fascinating explanation of that mysterious force." (Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune)"
