What keeps us from flying off the spinning earth? Gravity, you say?But what if gravity has an invisible partner -- a powerful force that explains why clouds float, what triggers rainfall, and how birds fly?Could such a force reside in electrical charge?Renowned scientist and...

Resistivity and induced polarization methods are used for a wide range of near-surface applications, including hydrogeology, civil engineering and archaeology, as well as emerging applications in the agricultural and plant sciences. This comprehensive reference text covers both theory and practice of resistivity and induced...

All of Earth's oceans, from the equator to the poles, are a single engine powered by sunlight, driving huge flows of energy, water, life, and raw materials. In The Blue Machine, physicist and oceanographer Helen Czerski illustrates the mechanisms behind this defining feature of...
