Recensione

'... a welcome addition to textbooks dealing with experimental rock mechanics and its application to natural rock deformation. ... provides by far the most comprehensive and authoritative treatment of this field in recent years. ... its greatest value lies in the drawing together of traditional topics together with more recent developments such as the thermodynamic aspects of rock deformation and links with whole-Earth geodynamics. This is combined with a clear writing style and excellent illustrations to make this an essential addition to a researcher's bookshelf.' Geological Magazine

Descrizione del libro

A comprehensive, unified treatment of the materials science of deformation as applied to solid Earth geophysics and geology, this textbook is ideal for graduate courses on the rheology and dynamics of solid Earth. It is also a much-needed reference for geoscientists in geology, geophysics, geochemistry, materials science, mineralogy and ceramics.
