Paul Roberts' research contributions are remarkable in their diversity, depth and international appeal. Papers from the Paul Roberts' Anniversary meeting at the University of Exeter are presented in this volume. Topics include geomagnetism and dynamos, fluid mechanics and MHD, superfluidity, mixed phase regions, mean field electrodynamics and the Earth's inner core. An incisive commentary of the papers puts the work of Paul Roberts into historical context. Magnetohydrodynamics and the Earth's Core provides a valuable source of reference for graduates and researchers working in this area of geoscience.

In August 1966, two weeks after England won the World Cup, and four miles from Wembley Stadium, Harry Roberts and his associates gunned down three unarmed police detectives in front of dozens of primary school children. The nation was outraged and struggled to understand what had happened. Roberts had served in the special forces during the conflict in Malaya and claimed he was assigned to kill selected targets. He returned to the UK keen to continue such work in civilian life, but he was rejected by the two gangs that dominated the London Criminal Underworld in the 1960s, the Krays and the Richardsons. Prophetically, they considered him to be too violent. Following the Shepherd’s Bush Mas...
The subject of rotating fluids is worth studying for many reasons, not least of which is that all large scale motions of the Earth's atmosphere, oceans and core are dominated by its rotation. Trade winds follow lines of latitude because of rotation: the effect of these winds upon the Atlantic generates, in gyroscopic fashion, the intense northerly flowing Gulf Stream: and evidence of the impact of rotation on the Earth's core is seen in the northwardd pointing compass. However, the study of rotating fluids has also been characterized by the power, elegance and ingenuity of the experimental and theoretical tools which have been brought to bear on it - tools of which every fluid mechanist ought to be aware. This book is devoted primarily to a theoretical exposition of the subject, although several sections are centred on experimental and numerical techniques in their applications to the atmosphere, oceans and core of the Earth. A theme running through the book is waves and stability, supported by a brief section expounding hydrodynamic stability theory.
