Abstract

This book on "Earth's Magnetic Field Reversals", by Professor J. A. Jacobs, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, U. K., deals with the Earth's magnetic field and its characteristics in the geological past, information that was obtained in paleomagnetic studies. This book is related to another, written by Prof. Jacobs 10 years ago, on the Earth's core (Jacobs, 1975).
