Pictorial cloth, 291pp, graphs, B&W illus. This is a book on the physics of planetary interiors. This volume includes contributions from the fields of geodynamics, seismology, mineral physics, rock mechanics, petrology and geochemistry that present a state of the art overview of modern interdisciplinary research on deep subduction. Topics include subduction dynamics (geometry, thermal structure, buoyancy forces and rheology), the nature and cause of deep earthquakes, the origin of subduction-related volcanism (stabilities of hydrous minerals, partial melting and observations from seismic tomography), and the relationship between continental collision, ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism and subduction.

Review
...this volume gives a broad and thorough overview of our current knowledge and the remaining enigmas related to the geodynamical and geochemical processes of deep subduction. Though not being a textbook, the volume is highly interesting for the beginning undergraduate or graduate student, as it provides many historical backgrounds, including references, and takes the student quickly to the forefront of where the research on deep subduction stands nowadays. The interdisciplinary character of the book makes it also a valuable volume for both geodynamicists and geochemists and for many other solid-earth researchers.

As a example, for most books weighing up to 2.9 lbs (1.3kg) standard postage within Canada is $11.99USD to the USA with Media Mail is $7.99USD and for "standard" International mail is $36.00USD. GST is charged on books and shipping for all Canadian customers.
The shipping templates have a default amount for a second book in the same order but this applies only to items of the same weight class or category. For example, the second CD is charged at $6.
