Book Reviews of Cosmic Rays at Earth
Book Review: An amazing compendium of data, but in paper form!
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, this book is also expensive, but the audience for it will be purchasing it with grant funds, so the cost doesn't seem so painful.
The collection of data here in the book is simply amazing. References have been tracked back over the decades and through generations of researchers. Incompatible notations and units have been brought together. Page after page of excellent graphs summarizing what is know and measured of the cosmic rays at Earth.
But really there should be a CD-ROM tucked into the book. (Maybe even just the CD without the thick, expensive book.) The unified data sets, the fits, and the tables are valuable, but most valuable in digital form to be added to and expanded and used in new work.
