这是另一本几乎需要手推车才能运送的“手册”，但也就是说，它将受到迅速增长的物理学文献的欢迎。它起源于1957年的地球物理研究理事会，作为内部消费和美国空军工程师和设计师的地球物理数据手册，一般不提供给科学家。在证明了它的价值后，它被修改和扩大，现在向公众销售。就每磅重量的美元而言，它并不昂贵，但有了更好的安排和布局，更薄的纸张等，它可能已经被减少到大约三分之二的大小，并且更容易折叠。评论这类书的要点是描述其中的信息种类，并评估其可靠性。本书共有21章，每一章都有标题（如果读者要决定这本书对他们是否有用，就应该给出所有的标题）：
This is another of those “handbooks” which almost demand a trolley for their transport but, this said, it is otherwise to be welcomed into the rapidly growing literature of geophysics. It originated in 1957 in the Geophysics Research Directorate as a handbook of geophysical data for internal consum.ption and for the U.S. Air Force’s engineers and designers and was not available to scientists generally. Having proved its worth it has been revised and enlarged and is now on sale to the public. In terms of dollars per pound weight it is not expensive but with better arrangement and lay-out, thinner paper, etc., it could probably have been reduced to about two-thirds its size and been the more handleable. The main point in reviewing a book of this kind is to describe the sort of information to be found in it and to assess its reliability. There are 21 chapters with titles (they should all be given if readers are to decide whether it is to be useful to them) :
