Anthropology and Earth Science
Evans, Michael E. and Friedrich Heller. Environmental Magnetism: Principles and Applications of Environmagnetics. Academic Press, 2003.
Dr. Dalan chose this book because:
“Environment Magnetism: Principles and Applications of Enviromagnetics by Michael E. Evans and Friedrich Heller is a book that has been an inspiration to me. It is also the book that I seem to be recommending most often to colleagues and students. It is a current, well-written, and comprehensive summary of the field of environmental magnetism, showing how magnetic materials are a useful archive of past environmental conditions. But beyond this, it inspires me because it provides both an international and interdisciplinary perspective, illustrating the broad and exciting applications of this field in paleoclimatic, biomagnetic, pollution, landform, and archaeological research.”
