Recenzii
'Earth Dynamics is a scholarly work. … people who have a strong background in differential equations and a foundational understanding of the more advanced nature of our planet's motions will enjoy what Smylie has to say. … Smylie's writing is easy to follow with this prior knowledge [of physics], and having the software available from the website makes it easy to verify his work. … Throughout the book Smylie's writing is clear and well organized. His formulae are straightforward. This book would be a sound foundation for a graduate level course on terrestrial dynamics. … it provides a welcome challenge to those of us who enjoy a bit more meat in our science reading. If you are a person who has a strong background in higher mathematics and physics, then you might enjoy this scholarly tome.' Woodrow W. Grizzle III, Planetarian
