The book, a classic and cream of the crop for increasing knowledge, is about to set in for those seeking knowledge in the meta and geophysics world.
The author, Professor Matoh Dogara Dary of the Kaduna State University (KASU) in the book, coined up and researched resource materials on solid Earth, Hydrogeology, potential field methods, electrical and electromagnetic methods, remote sensing and geographic information systems and seisomology for mind development and knowledge base for nation building.
Dary, an Applied Geophysics professor has over a decade, lectured at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria in the Department of Physics before venturing into politics, said the book touches on radiometric, environmental geophysics and geochemical prospecting.

Dary told our correspondent he has fully resumed back to a lecturing work and the book will certainly be suitable for those hungry for knowledge in Geophysics, Geography and it will greatly enhance multidisciplinary studies and research.
While discussing the launching of the Book with our reporter, the Chairman of the contact and mobilization committee, Prof. Hycient O. Aboh said preparations are on top gear to announce the arrival of a new idea to the world.
