Abstract

GEOPHYSICS, like her august sister astronomy, is experiencing a new golden age of activity and rapid advance, and in consequence a spate of geophysical books issues from the Press. As with astronomy also, the mode of publication of geophysical work renders the production of works of synthesis and compilation particularly desirable: whereas the researches of physicists and chemists, for example, appear almost exclusively in regular scientific periodicals, which are purchasable through any bookseller, much of the work of astronomers and geophysicists, both on the observational and theoretical sides, appears in the publications of observatories and expeditions, which are often not readily available to private workers, are issued at irregular intervals, and in many cases are not referred to in Science Abstracts and similar journals.
