It is just over ten years since the first edition of The Earth‘s Core was published It has been said that the typical doubling period for the accumulation of scientific knowledge during the last two centuries is about fifteen years, and this is certainly the case for the Earth’s core. The second edition has been largely rewritten and expanded, but follows the same layout as the first edition. The first chapter on the general physical properties of the Earth now includes a long section on the core-mantle boundary (the so-called D” layer). The section on free oscillations of the Earth is extended and a section on attenuation (the Q of the Earth) added.
