Geophysics is a broad subject that encompasses not only the physics of the Earth, but also the physics of the atmosphere & oceans. The heart of geophysics, however, is the theory of the solid Earth. The Solid Earth is a general introduction to the study of modern physics of the solid Earth, including the workings of both the Earth's surface & its deep interior. The book begins with a brief historical introduction to developments in geophysics. The next chapter discusses the important theory of plate tectonics, & is followed logically by a chapter on geomagnetism & palaeomagnetism. Subsequent chapters deal with the subjects of seismology, gravity, radioactivity & the age of the Earth & heat flow in the Earth. The book concludes with chapters on the physics of the oceanic & continental lithospheres. The emphasis throughout the discussion is on basic physical principles rather than instrumentation or data handling. Many helpful worked examples are given in the text, &, in addition, there are problems of various degrees of difficulty at the end of each chapter. Appendices explain more advanced mathematical topics & theories of seismology for mathematically inclined students. ...

Falk, one of Germany's leading publishers of street plans, produce their town plans in two different formats. Falk Extra plans are folded in a standard way, where the whole map can be opened to view the entire area it covers. For larger cities, the same mapping is also published with a special folding system designed to show only a small section of the map at one time. The whole map can be opened but it will be cut in several places. Many find these street plans very user-friendly & easier to handle than conventional maps. The plans, which cover towns with their outer suburbs, indicate main landmarks & public buildings & show all the public transport facilities, one way streets & car parks. Plans of lager cities include a separate map of the town centre at a more detailed scale & a diagram of the underground & the suburban rail network. The plans also show the postal divisions & have an extensive street index which, where appropriate, shows individual postal codes for each street. Map legend
