In 1902, Andrew Carnegie founded the Carnegie Institution of
Washington, to support innovative science research. Since its
creation two years later, the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism
has undertaken a broad range of research from terrestrial
magnetism, ionospheric physics and geochemistry to biophysics,
radio astronomy and planetary science. This second volume in a
series of five histories of the Carnegie Institution describes the
people and events, the challenges and successes that the Department
has witnessed over the last century. Contemporary photographs
illustrate some of the remarkable expeditions and instruments
developed in pursuit of scientific understanding, from sailing
ships to nuclear particle accelerators and radio telescopes to mass
spectrometers. These photographs show an evolution of scientific
progress through the century, often done under trying, even
exciting circumstances.
