Description: Theory of the Earths Gravity FieldBy M. Pick 1973 first edition Elsevier Scientific Publishing (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), 6 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches tall green cloth hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, gilt lettering to spine, illustrated with black-and-white photograms and diagrams, index, 538 pp. Ink prior owner name (a noted UCLA math professor) to top margin of blank front free-endpaper.

Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - in a dust jacket which is rubbed and edgeworn with a couple of closed tears but which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. Discusses the gravity field of the earth and its variations in relation to theories about the shape of the earth and the various concepts as to the structure of its interior and crust. The work is based on the mathematical theory of the Newton potential, which is treated generally in the introductory chapters andn which is later related to problems of the earth's gravity field, its reductions, the shape of the earth, etc. There follows a systematic treatment of the principles of the measurement of the earth's gravity (both absolute and relative) and of the components of gravity.
