An Archaeological History of Montserrat in the West Indies
Montserrat is a small island in the Leeward islands of the eastern Caribbean and at present a British Overseas Territory. It has suffered greatly in recent times, first from the devastations of Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and since 1995 from the still-ongoing eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano that has caused two-thirds of the island’s population to emigrate and left half the island a dangerous exclusion zone. Archaeological research here began only in the late 1970s, but work over the past four decades has now made it possible to present an archaeological history of Montserrat, from the earliest known traces of human activity on the island about 5,000 years ago to the present.

Petrography to Petrogenesis
This process-oriented book combines optical mineralogy with petrography and petrology. It covers all rock types. It focuses on the study of the behavior of rocks in response to geological processes. In addition to covering common igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, it also examines weathered, hydrothermally altered, and low-temperature precipitative and deformed rocks. It covers all rock types that relate to the fields of hydrogeology, environmental geology, economic geology, neotectonics, earth science, seismology, and geologic engineering. Incorporates numerous high-quality photographs, including 8 pages of color photos.

Marginal Basin Geology
This volume consists largely of papers presented at a meeting organised by the Volcanic Studies Group of the Geological Society at Keele University in September 1982 and includes a modified version of a field guide prepared for the pre-conference field discussion meeting. Although by no means exhaustive, the volume reflects the state of research into marginal basin geology and emphasises the need to integrate observations from modern and ancient basins. Its four sections are divided into: processes; the Western Pacific region; South America and Antarctica; and the Lower Palaeozoic.
