Reviews

This book is a significant step forward, since the number of practical details related to laboratory works is much higher than a typical textbook. The book by Lisa Tauxe, perhaps better than others, gives insight into paleomagnetic blood, sweat and tears perfectly illustrating well-known Chris Scotese's acronym PALEOMAGNETISM=NOT A SIMPLE GAME. ...Generally, the book is to some extent a hybrid of a text-and-guide book, combining a successfully concise, yet reader friendly, narrative style with a multiplicity of useful details regarding the background and practice particularly in paleomagnetic computing. Earth scientists who use paleomagnetic data in their research and students taking a class with paleomagnetic contents will find having this book satisfying, those working in Unix benefiting the most. <br>(Marek Lewandavski in Pure and Applied Geophysics, 159 (2002) <br> This book is written with authority in a clear, easy-to-read style. For any earth scientist who uses paleomagnetic data in his/her research, it will serve as a valuable resource. Students in particular will find the examples and computer programs to be very instructive. I have enjoyed reading Paleomagnetic Principles and Practice, a timely contribution to the literature of geophysics. <br>(J.J. Love in EOS, 81: 15 (2000)
