Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. BV5 - A first edition (First edition 1982 stated) hardcover book in very good condition that has some bumped corners, previous owner's name written on the front free endpaper, light tanning and shelf wear with no dust jacket. Pergamon International Library of Science, Technology, Engineering and Social Studies. 9.25"x6.5", 492 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. A technical and economic history delineating how three major aspects of geophysics evolved from simple scientific beginnings and came to impact on civilization in many diverse ways. Topics covered include the growth of geophysical exploration into a highly profitable international business, the opening of the American Arctic to modern science and industry, and the utilization of geophysics in military combat and nuclear arms control. In the closing chapter, over 40 noted earth scientists (including Sir Harold Jeffreys, Cecil Green, Frank Press, Roger Revelle, and J. Tuzo Wilson) denote their major contributions to this unique field. This book is the first to treat simultaneously the evolution of exploration geophysics and the allied sciences of seismology and oceanography as it occurred in three key countries - Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. An absorbing account for all practicing earth scientists and their families, investors in the industry, and persons interested in economic geology, public and world affairs, military warfare, the history of science and technology, environmental sciences and even outdoor adventure. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # ec46767
