Awa Press, Wellington, NZ, 2010. Softcover (14 x 21 cm), 274 pages. ISBN: 9780958275002. Very Good condition. Lightly bumped. Tight binding, clean textblock. "It's 1995 and two scientists are poised to unlock an enigma: the source of the Earth's magnetic field. Without this invisible barrier, life on our planet would be impossible, wiped out by the violent onslaught of solar wind and cosmic rays. But what causes magnetism? And what makes Earth so magnetic? For centuries this has absorbed the world's greatest scientific minds. Albert Einstein called it one of the last great unsolved mysteries of physics. Now, using a supercomputer, these scientists will attempt to simulate Earth's magnetic field - everything know about it from four hundred years of direct observation and geologic records stretching back to the beginning of time. Their results will stun the scientific community."
