Overview
Using wave propogation as the common thread, this is the first book to simultaneously analyze the emergence of realist attitudes towards the entities of the ionosphere and of the earth's crust. However, what led physicists and engineers to adopt realist attitudes? Anduaga Egaنna suggests that a new kind of realism--a realism of social and cultural origins--is the answer: a preliminary, entity realism responding to specific commercial and engineering interests, and a realism that was neither strictly instrumental nor exclusively operational.
