Résumé
"The Earth's mantle" plays a crucial role in a variety of geologic processes and provides researchers with important insights into the development of our planet. Striking a balance between established consensus and continuing controversy, "The Earth's Mantle" provides researchers and graduate students with an authoritative review of this important part of our planet. Written by internationally recognized scientists from the Australian National University this book draws on perspectives from cosmochemistry, isotope geochemistry, fluid dynamics and petrology, seismology and geodynamics, and mineral and rock physics. The hardback edition received excellent reviews, some of which are reproduced below.
