Abstract
The main publications written by people associated with the Institute of Geophysics PAS are outlined. Presently, the major titles are Acta Geophysica and the GeoPlanet Book Series. The journal Acta Geophysica, formerly Acta Geophysica Polonica, is of the same age as the Institute. The GeoPlanet Book Series evolved from Monographic Volumes of the Publications of the Institute of Geophysics. Also many significant, pioneering monographs are recalled, along with some remarks on the Institute’s history.

Notes

Strictly speaking, until 1970 it was the Department of Geophysics (Zakład Geofizyki), but we will use the name Institute throughout the whole article.
