	New Theory of the Earth by Don L. Anderson (Author) New 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....
	The Solid Earth: An Introduction to Global Geophysics by C. M. R. Fowler (Author) The Solid Earth is a general introduction to the study of the physics of the solid Earth, including the workings of both the Earth's surface and its deep interior. The emphasis throughout is on basic physical principles rather than instrumentation or data handling. The second edition of this acclaimed textbook has been revised to bring the content fully up-to-date and to reflect the most recent advances in geophysical research. It is designed for undergraduates on introductory geophysics...
	Geodynamics by Donald L. Turcotte (Author), Gerald Schubert (Author) First published in 1982, Don Turcotte and Jerry Schubert's Geodynamics became a classic textbook for several generations of students of geophysics and geology. The authors bring this text completely up-to-date in this second edition. Important additions include a chapter on chemical geodynamics, an updated coverage of comparative planetology based on recent planetary missions, and a variety of other new topics. Geodynamics provides the fundamentals necessary for an understanding of the workings...
	Physics of the Earth by Frank D. Stacey (Author), Paul M. Davis (Author) The fourth edition of Physics of the Earth maintains the original philosophy of this classic graduate textbook on fundamental solid earth geophysics, while being completely revised, updated, and restructured into a more modular format to make individual topics even more accessible. Building on the success of previous editions, which have served generations of students and researchers for nearly forty years, this new edition will be an invaluable resource for graduate students looking for the...
	Tectonics by Eldridge M. Moores (Author), Robert J. Twiss (Author) Tectonics is the first of its kind - a complete, scholarly, readable text devoted exclusively to the field of tectonics. Following from the authors' best-selling Structural Geology - which encompasses processes from the microscopic to the regional levels - Tectonics examines structures from the regional to the global, and even the planetary levels. Written by two widely respected experts in the field, with spectacular artwork and photography, it is the definitive upper-level text for courses in...
