2 comments about Physics of Glaciers.
- This is the 3rd edition of classical university textbook. It is a complete introduction to the behaviour of glaciers and ice sheets from a theoretical point of view. It treats a wide range of subjects e.g. ice dynamics, mass balance, climatology, ice core analysis, hydrology, thermal properties, etc. The equations of ice flow in valley glaciers, ice sheets and ice streams are presented along with the physical arguments.
A basic knowledge of mathematics and physics is an advantage.

1 comments about Continents and Supercontinents.
- As an educated layman, rather than a professional geologist, I found Rogers and Santosh to be an excellent overview of the whole field of plate tectonics. The book is comprehensive and up to date, and is written in a clear and very well-organized style. They even have chapters on the effects of the changes in the earth's surface on climate and the evolution of organisms. One could hardly ask for more.

1 comments about Physical Geodesy.
- This is the standard text in geodesy, and it is exclusively used at Ohio State University. It is very thorough and it is written at the 4th year level. It is also the book you want for Helmut Moritz's complete improvement of his 1967 book, entiled "PhysicalGeodesy" without any deletions and all new improvements. It does in fact come in "hard back and this is the only way to purchase it for lifetime reference!" It is the only one written in English that not only derives the formulas; but covers all existing topics in this field.
