More than 400 years ago William Gilbert said, "The Earth itself is
a great magnet." Today, we know that it is also a great magnetic
tape recorder. This work is a comprehensive, up-to-date textbook on
extracting and using rock and paleomagnetic data in archaeological,
geological, and geophysical applications. Designed for students and
professionals with knowledge of college level physics and some
background in earth sciences, it describes both the theory and the
practice of paleomagnetism, covering topics such as the basics of
magnetism, geomagnetic fields, how rocks become magnetized, and the
various ways of analyzing the magnetism of rocks. The book uses the
companion PmagPy software package. An appendix contains a brief
introduction to Python, an easy-to-use, cross-platform, and most
important, free programming environment in which PmagPy programs
are written.
