	Edgar Rice Burroughs: At the Earth's Core
		At the Earth's Core, the first novel in Burroughs's "Pellucidar" series, is not immune from Burroughs's latent racism.
		Although Burroughs includes a plot in At the Earth's Core, it seems to exist as a mere formality.
		The real raison d'etre for the novel is to provide a travelogue for the strange lands which exist in Burroughs's imagination and within the Earth's crust.

	Amazon.com: Books: Earth
		Earth is one of those books, because it covers so many issues that I consider to be hot topics: privacy, the information super-highway, restrictions in scientific research, evolution of consciousness and the future of the entire human race.
		This is an ambitiously written story, sprawling from outer space to the core of the Earth, with different plot elements tangling and untangling.
		The wrecked and dying planet provides the dystopian feel, and the discovery of a miniature black hole in the interior of the Earth gives the characters a deadline and a problem to solve.

	David Brin's Official Web Site: My Other Science Fiction Novels
		A microscopic black hole has accidentally fallen into the Earth's core and the entire planet is in danger of being destroyed within two years.
		This lavish 144 page graphic novel vividly extends one of my classic novellas into a full-length saga -- a dark but ultimately uplifting tale about an alternate world, offering chillingly plausible insight to what the Nazis might have really been up to, during World War II.
		Two thirds of the Earth's population consists of temporaries made of clay.

	ESA - Living Planet Programme - ESA to select new Earth Explorer missions
		The Earth is surrounded by a large and complicated magnetic field caused to a large extent by a self-sustaining dynamo operating in the fluid outer-core.
		Although it is known that high-altitude clouds warm the Earth while clouds lower in the atmosphere contribute to cooling, it is unclear whether clouds have an overall warming or cooling effect on the Earth.
		Following the successful implementation of the ERS satellites and Envisat, which address Earth science issues of a global nature, Earth Explorers are smaller research missions dedicated to specific aspects of our Earth environment.

		A science fiction novel set in the year 3000, when Earth is an empty wasteland full of aliens, and one man decides to marshal the survivors to rid Earth of the alien invaders.
		Tom Clancy traces the transformation of the Special Forces from the small core of outsiders of the 1950s through the cauldron of Vietnam and to the rebirth of the SF in the late 1980s and 1990s as the bearer of the largest, most mixed and most complex set of missions in the US military.
		Peopled with the most extraordinary characters you will ever meet, here is a novel that will make you laugh, make you weep, and, above all, make you think.

	Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne Detailed Book Review
		But, it is the discussion of the scientific theories pertaining to the earth that prevailed in those times that comprise the core of the novel.
		In the novel, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, author Jules Verne tells the fictitious story of three men and their adventures as they descend into the depths of the earth.
		Verne's description of the route to Iceland and the contemporary societal set-up in the remote north is elaborated and obviously well-researched.

	The Silmarillion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He regarded The Silmarillion as the most important of his work, seeing in its tales not only the genesis of Middle-earth and later events as told in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but the entire core of his legendarium.
		Tolkien was asked to write a sequel to The Hobbit which would become his seminal novel The Lord of the Rings.
		He continued to work on them over the next several decades, revising and reworking his ideas, right up until his death in

	World Building
		The core assumption of SF is that your fictional universe has rules, and the reader will expect you to not only know those rules, but to follow them.
		That alone would make the life there different than Earth's.
		If we define Fantastic Literature as fiction placed in a setting that is divergent from the reality the writer inhabits, then SF is that class of Fantastic Literature where this divergence is the result of a rational extrapolation of a change in the writer's reality.

	Amazon.ca: DVD: Journey to the Center of the Earth (Full Screen)
		Like the 1959 theatrical feature of the same name, the two-part cable movie Journey to the Center of the Earth was loosely adapted from the Jules Verne novel (also of the same name).
		The first part of the TV version faithfully follows the chronology of the earlier film, with famed archeologist/explorer Professor Theodore Lytton (Treat Williams), his nephew, Jonas (Jeremy London), and adventurer-for-hire, McNiff (Hugh Keays-Byrne) embarking upon an expedition to the earth's core.
		The only thing this movie has going for it are the special effects, after that forget it.

		Although Burroughs includes a plot in At the Earth's Core, it seems to exist as a mere formality.
		As with other Burroughs novels, the only female of the inner world who appears in the novel is one calculated to arouse lust, if not love, in the Anglo-Saxon heroes.

	A Novel Theory of the Terrestrial Magnetic Field and its Anomalies
		The observation that the magnetic dipole axis does not pass through the Earth's centre can be accounted for also by a large enough, and stable enough, asymmetric offset of the particular opposing dipole producing cells, whose vector addition is responsible for the main nett magnetic dipole field.
		Now a nett magnetic field at the strength we know to exist, will be registered on our measuring instruments at the surface of the planet, and a general preference for the observed North/South pole position will be produced by the Earth's rotation, thus giving rise to the major field close to the Earth's rotational axis.
		It is obvious that these fields would have disturbing effects on the main core magnetism and consequently provide additional contributions to the required asymmetry necessary for production of the resultant magnetic field in the core.

	Paulo Coelho - 'The Alchemist : A Fable About Following Your Dream'
		This is the core of the novel's philosophy and a motif that echoes behind Coelho's writing all through "The Alchemist".
		However, by the end of the novel, he discovers that "treasure lies where your heart belongs", and that the treasure was the journey itself, the discoveries he made, and the wisdom he acquired.
		Dreams, symbols, signs, and adventure follow the reader like echoes of ancient wise voices in "The Alchemist", a novel that combines an atmosphere of Medieval mysticism with the song of the desert.

		After April reports live, from the Malicurian Embassy, of the Malicurian Emporer's decision to sell mining rights to the vast deposit of Lydiam 90 that was recently discovered in his country, she prepares herself for the big party that is being held at the Embassy later that night.

	Ganymede (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ganymede's intrinsic magnetic field is probably generated in a similar fashion to the Earth's: as a result of conducting material moving in the interior, likely originating in its metallic core.
		The Primeval to fuse with Ganymede is Lungs Primeval (ZX-17), which creates a "Klein Space" within itself (a pocket dimension bearing spatial geometry similar to that of a klein bottle) in an attempt to seal GGG away upon their arrival in Jovian orbit.
		Ganymede is the only moon known to have a magnetosphere.
