Summary
Unveiling Earth’s Secrets: A Dynamic Journey from Core to Crust
This undergraduate textbook provides a comprehensive and integrated view of the Earth’s structure, composition, and dynamic processes, drawing from geophysics, geochemistry, and petrology. Embracing an Earth system science approach, it explores the Earth’s interior and develops a global perspective on solid Earth cycles to elucidate geodynamic and plate tectonic processes.
The book begins with the formation and …

What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Other books on global solid Earth processes lean heavily towards geophysics or geochemistry. This new textbook is a welcome departure from that model, with chapters arranged by process or region rather than by discipline (seismology, geodynamics, petrology). It is an excellent book for undergraduate students who need to broaden their backgrounds and learn to integrate their thinking.’ Scott King, Professor of Geophysics, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
