Earth dynamics : deformations and oscillations of the rotating Earth / / D.E. Smylie.
"The Earth is a dynamic system. Internal processes, together with external gravitational forces of the Sun, Moon and planets, displace the Earth's mass, impacting on its shape, rotation and gravitational field. Doug Smylie provides a rigorous overview of the dynamical behaviour of the soli...
