Physics for Scientists and Engineers:
Extended Version
(Prentice-Hall, 1993) is again invaluable.
Many good things of oceanographic interest can be found
in the exceptionally clear work of S. Pond and G.L. Pickard
-
Introductory Dynamical Oceanography
(Pergamon,
1983), while R. McIlveen's
Fundamentals of Weather and
Climate
(Stanley Thornes, 1998) is good on the atmos-
pheric side. A more advanced text is D.J. Furbish's
Fluid
Physics in Geology
(Oxford, 1997). G.V. Middeton and P.R.
Wilcox's
Mechanics in the Earth and Environmental Sciences
has a broad appeal at intermediate level and is very thor-
ough. The best introduction to solid stress and strain is in
G.H. Davies and S.J. Reynolds's
Structural Geology of Rocks
and Regions
(Wiley, 1996); R.J. Twise and E.M. Moores's
Structural Geology
(1992) and J.G. Ramsay and M. Huber's
The Techniques of Modern Structural Geology,
vol. 1:
Strain
Analysis
(Academic Press, 1993) are classics on structural
geology for advanced studies on solid stress. W.D. Means's
Stress and Strain
(Springer-Verlag, 1976) takes a careful and
rigorous course through the basics of the subject.
