About this title

Synopsis

This book in honour of Alexander Clark McLaren on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday and retirement has as its theme the role of defect structures in the processes of deformation, phase transformations and microstructural development in rocks and minerals. These topics also span the major scientific interests that have exercised the mind and research activities of Alexander Clark McLaren over the past forty years.

Review

Wolf Uwe Reimold, Economic Geology Research Unit
In fact, I am now convinced that this series of papers should find a wide-ranging readership, including physicists, mineralogists, structural and metamorphic geologists, metallurgists, and yes - even geochronologists and workers in the field of impact cratering - just to mention a few obvious disciplines that are directly related to the topics dealt with here. And they are dealt with by experts in their fields, and this, together with the obvious care taken by the editors in the selection of high-calibre reviewers, assured that each individual contribution is of highest scientific quality.

There can be no doubt that this book will serve as an important reference volume for numerous workers in the field of microstructures as well as students of the related disciplines. At the very reasonable prices for both the hard and paperback editions no relevant library should fail to make this volume available to its customers. I wish to congratulate the editors, the authors, and the referees for an, overall, excellent achievement.

...this volume is an extremely useful and valuable reference book for all geologists and materials scientists who are interested in the solid physics of geological and industrial materials. It should certainly be in every earth science and material science library.

The book is, above all, a deserved tribute to the considerable contributions of Alex McLaren to the quantification of the micro-microstructural studies of minerals.
