8vo-over 7?"-9?" tall. Red leather-like binding, issued w/o dust jacket. From the Preface: "A major part of this book could be entitled "The Secular Term. " The existence of a nonreversing term in the Earth's tidal distortion, causing cumulative displacement, may possibly interest not only the geologist, but colleagues in astronomy concerned with orbital evolution. An incentive to research has been an indignation that investigators have modeled an earth that is geologically so active, as inert and "dead". " This scholarly work includes chapters on: Historical Perspective: Earth Rotation and Global Tectonics; Tidal Action in a Uniform, Inert Earth: Static Bulge, Mobile Bulge; Tidal Action: Pre-Stress Under Convection; Tectonic Record; Polar Wander: Figure Adjustment; The Observation Problem.[less]
