Reviews
"What we can find in this book is a snapshot of current knowledge regarding the Earth's components and how these consituent parts challenge
Earth scientists to integrate their sub-disciplines into a holistic view of our home. The book is an excellent textbook for either an
upper class undergraduate course or a graduate course in Earth history."
-Eos (Bulletin of the American Geophysical Union), 2005
"Author
Kent Condie synthesizes data from the fields of oceanography, geophysics, planetology, and geochemistry to examine the key topics and
questions relating to the evolution of Earth's crust and mantle. This volume provides a substantial update to Condie's established text,Plate
Tectonics and Crustal Evolution, Fourth Edition. It emphasizes the interactive nature of various components of the Earth system
on timescales of tens to hundreds of millions of years, and how these interactions have affected the history of the atmosphere, oceans,
and biosphere."
