Handbuch der Geophysik

Abstract

FOUR more sections of this learned work by numerous authors are now available. It would be easy to find defects in it, but it would be very difficult to do it better. What strikes the reviewer particularly is the inevitable fact that, in a comprehensive work of this character, sections are liable to become out of date owing to later work while the book is in the press and most of the faults that one might find would be of this nature.

Handbuch der Geophysik.
