The Evolving Continents
A textbook for undergraduate and graduate students of Earth sciences. It provides a history of the Earth which enables students to gain an integrated overview of the many different aspects of Earth sciences. The author assesses the evidence from the geological record of the role of plate tectonics in continental development from 4 Ga to the present. This edition (second was 1984) is largely rewritten--the section on the Precambrian and Paleozoic orogens is completely new--and most references have been updated to encompass research of the past decade.

Superplumes: Beyond Plate Tectonics
This abundantly illustrated book provides a concise overview of our understanding of the entire mantle, its evolution since early differentiation and the consequences of superplumes for earth surface processes. The book’s balanced authorship has produced a state-of-the-science report on the emerging concept of superplumes. This presents a new concept to explain catastrophic events on Earth through geologic time.
Proterozoic East Gondwana
This volume focuses on Late Mesoproterozoic to early Cambrian events related to Gondwana assembly and break up. The nineteen papers provide a comprehensive review including advanced knowledge and new data from all critical areas of East Gondwana. The recent knowledge of the evolution of East Gondwana, which was regarded as an integral part of the Mesoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia, is the major theme of the volume, which is reinforced by highlighting this radical and new understanding of the evolution of this region.
Mineral Trade Notes
A monthly inventory of information from U.S. Government Foreign Service offices and other sources that may not otherwise be made available promptly.
Plate Tectonics, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes
Presents an introduction to volcanoes and earthquakes, explaining how the movement of the Earth's interior plates cause their formation and describing the volcanoes which currently exist around the world as well as some of the famous earthquakes of the nineteenth through twenty-first cenuturies.

Progress in Volcanology
Progress in Volcanology includes nine chapters in three sections. The first section is the “Introduction” while the other two sections speak on “Applied Volcanology” and “Volcanic Sedimentology, Geochemistry and Petrology.” The chapters address volcanology in several areas around the world, including Italy, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Argentina, India, and others.
The Next Supercontinent
An internationally recognized scientist shows that Earth’s separate continents, once together in Pangea, are again on a collision course. You’ve heard of Pangea, the single landmass that broke apart some 175 million years ago to give us our current continents, but what about its predecessors, Rodinia or Columbia? These “supercontinents” from Earth’s past provide evidence that land repeatedly joins and separates. While scientists debate what that next supercontinent will look like—and what to name it—they all agree: one is coming. In this engaging work, geophysicist Ross Mitchell invites readers to remote (and sometimes treacherous) lands for evidence of past supercontinents, de...
