Don L. Anderson (2007) New Theory of the Earth. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 978-0-521-84959-3, 0-521-84959-4

Book Description:

Theory of the Earth is an interdisciplinary advanced textbook on the origin, composition, and evolution of the Earth's interior: geophysics, geochemistry, dynamics, convection, mineralogy, volcanism, energetics and thermal history. This is the only book on the whole landscape of deep Earth processes which ties together all the strands of the subdisciplines. It is a complete update of Anderson's Theory of the Earth (1989). It includes many new sections and dozens of new figures and tables. As with the original book, this new edition will prove to be a stimulating textbook on advanced courses in geophysics, geochemistry, and planetary science, and supplementary textbook on a wide range of other advanced Earth science courses. It will also be an essential reference and resource for all researchers in the solid Earth sciences.

• Unified approach to all aspects of interior of the Earth and its origin, composition and evolution: this makes this advanced textbook unique • Only advanced textbook that ties together geophysics, geochemistry, dynamics, convection, mineralogy, volcanism, energetics and thermal history of the Earth • Completely updated with dozens of new figures and tables • Includes new sections on tomography, self organization, and new approaches to plate tectonics • Contains a section on statistics, philosophy and scientific logic • Features Googlets; unique to this book, these key words and phrases can be used to access further resources through the internet
