The Theory of the Top was originally presented by Felix Klein as an 1895 lecture at Göttingen University that was broadened in scope and clarified as a result of collaboration with Arnold Sommerfeld. The Theory of the Top: Volume III. Perturbations: Astronomical and Geophysical Applications is the third installment in a series of four self-contained English translations that provide insights into kinetic theory and kinematics.

From the reviews:
"This third volume is devoted to the investigation of the motion of a symmetric top and is unique in that it complements the results of the previous volumes, which were of a theoretical nature, by results that are of great interest in the investigation of applied aspects of the motion of symmetric bodies. . is of great value to specialists in analytical mechanics."
