The Earth's magnetic field has existed for hundreds of millions of
years, far longer than life has existed on Earth, and affects our
lives in many ways. We can use it to orient buildings and navigate
across unmarked territory. Moreover, it protects us from harmful
radiation from space. Intended as an introductory guide for
non-specialist readers, this book describes the historical
importance of the Earth's magnetic field and its role in protecting
the planet from harmful high-energy radiation from the Sun. With
explanations of underlying physics of processes and references to
original scientific works, the reader can explore the Earth's
magnetic field and the various ways in which geomagnetics are used
and measured, including the analysis of modern satellite-based
investigations and the effects of solar activity on the geomagnetic
field.
