Klappentext zu „The Archaean: Geological and Geochemical Windows into the Early Earth “
Archaean terrains contain a wealth of structural, stratigraphic, textural, mineralogical, geochemical and isotopic features allowing insights into the nature of the early Earth. This book is based on studies during 1964-2007 of Archaean terrains in Australia and to a lesser extent in South Africa and India, as well as on visits to Archaean terrains in Canada, the US and China, as well as petrological and geochemical studies of igneous and sedimentary rock suites from a range of terrains. The book will include a range of photographic and microscopic images, geological sketch maps and diagrams illustrating the lessons derived from field and the laboratory. Also other Archaean terrains are being reviewed. The book is intended for Earth scientists as well as broader intelligent readership.

Pressezitat
"The book is global in scope and discusses the data on early Earth from sites in southwest Greenland, Canada, Australia, India, South Africa, and more. ... The volume is well supported by numerous tables, color photographs, color and black-and white illustrations, appendixes, an extensive 30-page list of references, and a 13-page subject/geographic index. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners." (J. T. Andrews, Choice, Vol. 52 (11), July, 2015)"The author provides an extensive overview of the geochronological data pertaining to the Archean, and integrates this with geochemical and isotopic information. ... The author has done a commendable job of compiling a mountain of geochronological and isotopic data, much of which is helpfully collated into an Appendix. ... The book will be useful for research-oriented workers dealing with Archean rocks." (Brett Davis, TAG The Australian Geologist, Issue 174, March, 2015)
