作为国际大地测量学与地球物理联合会主席，j·图佐·威尔逊密切参与了国际大地测量年的筹备工作及其项目的实施。他旅行了大约10万英里，访问了南极、中国、格陵兰岛和台湾等遥远地方的设施，以及许多其他地方。因此，他对IGY的描述是一种个人叙述，为人类历史上最伟大的合作科学事业的巨大成就的叙述增添了极大的魅力。在这里，我们看到IGY如何在地球上，地球上，地球下，甚至海洋下开辟了新的视野。的确，威尔逊向我们介绍了新的三维IGY世界，他设法以某种方式将事物置于适当的角度。例如，最广为人知的IGY计划——也就是卫星——在他列举苏联与美国的成就时恰如其分。威尔逊对宇宙射线、极光和其他大气现象的有趣评论尤其清晰，并为我们对这些现象的理解提供了新的维度。作为一名训练有素的地质学家，威尔逊非常关注固体地球和与之相关的惊人发现，比如最大的山
As president of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, J. Tuzo Wilson was intimately involved both in the preparations for the IGY and in carrying out its program. He traveled some 100,000 miles, visiting installations in such far-away places as Antarctica, China, Greenland, and Taiwan, as well as many others. His account of the IGY is, therefore, a sort of personal narrative which lends great charm to the recital of the tremendous accomplishments of this greatest co-operative scientific enterprise in man's history.Here we see how the IGY opened up new horizons on the earth, above the earth, beneath the earth, and even beneath the sea. Verily, Wilson introduces us to the new three-dimensional IGY world, and he manages somehow to place things in their proper perspective. For instance, the most publicized as-pects of the IGY program-namely, the satellites-fall into proper propor-tion as he recites the accomplishments of the Soviets versus the Americans. Wilson's interesting comments on cosmic rays, aurora, and other atmo-spheric phenomena are especially clear and give new dimensions to our under-standing of these phenomena. Being a trained geologist, Wilson gives much attention to the solid earth and the fabulous discoveries made concerning it, discoveries such as the greatest moun-
