  • Earth's Magnetosphere

    Formed by the Low-Latitude Boundary Layer

    by Walter Heikkila ...
    The author argues that, after five decades of debate about the interactive of solar wind with the magnetosphere, it is time to get back to basics. Starting with Newton's law, this book also examines Maxwell's equations and subsidiary equations such as continuity, constitutive relations and the Lorentz transformation; Helmholtz' theorem, and Poynting's theorem, among other methods for understanding ...

  • Geochemistry of Epigenesis

    by A. I. Perel man ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    In its classical sense "epigenesis" refers to all geological processes originating at or near the surface of the earth. It thus embraces all those phenomena which we associate with the land scape; Perel'man has already written extensively on this subject. The landscape, in the physical sense, is controlled by the interac tion of exogenic and endogenic agencies-on the one hand, the atmo sphere, the ... Read more
