The year 1998 marked the 50th anniversary of the invention of the
neutron monitor, a key research tool in the field of space physics
and solar-terrestrial relations. In honor of this occasion a
workshop entitled 'Cosmic Rays and Earth' was organized to review
the detection of cosmic rays at the surface and in the lower
atmosphere of Earth, including the effect that this radiation has
on the terrestrial environment. A special focus was the role of
neutron monitors in the investigation of this radiation, on the
science enabled by the unique dataset of the worldwide network of
neutron monitors, and on continuing opportunities to use these data
to solve outstanding problems. This book is the principal product
of that workshop, integrating the contribu tions of all
participants. Following a general summary of the workshop prepared
by the editors, the volume leads off with a keynote article by
Professor John Simpson describing his invention of the neutron
monitor in 1948 and the early scientific discoveries made with this
instrument."
