Description

Book Synopsis
Reversals of the Earth's magnetic field have played a major role in the development of plate tectonics and in establishing a geological time scale. In this 1994 book, observational data and ideas on the mechanism of the reversal process are reviewed in detail.

Trade Review
'The author writes lucidly and well, and the book offers a comprehensive overview of all things related to reversals … The book definitely belongs on the shelves of all researchers and graduate students working with aspects of reversals and should be purchased by all research libraries.' Geological Magazine
