Geophysics, Realism, and Industry - Anduaga, Aitor (Ikerbasque Research Professor, Ikerbasque Research Professor, Basque Museum of the History of Medicine and Science, University of the Basque Country, Spain)

Geophysics, Realism, and Industry is the first book to simultaneously study the emergence of realist attitudes towards the entities (layers) of the ionosphere and the earth's crust. It proposes a new kind of realism: a realism of social and cultural origins, an entity realism responding to specific commercial and engineering interests.
