Review
From reviews of the hardback edition: 'The Earth's Mantle fills an important niche ... a source for ideas and current understanding ... this compilation will be useful for many years. It is well produced, well edited, and up-to-date. ... I strongly recommend the volume to researchers and students interested in Earth's mantle; others outside the field will also find it a stimulating overview of this exciting area.' David J. Stevenson, Science
' ... provides an unusually coherent treatment of mantle research conducted by diverse approaches. ... offers the broad overview of current understanding that a textbook might offer but also provides enough details to satisfy researchers and tantalizing suggestions of needs for future research. ... This summary of understanding of the mantle's origin, composition, structure, and dynamic processes, will be enjoyable and worthwhile reading for Earth scientists of all types.' Jay Pulliam, EOS
' ... I am very much impressed by the well-organized editing and the high quality of science summarized in each chapter of this book. This book must be on the bookshelf of every scientist studying the solid Earth as well as graduate students working on solid Earth sciences.' Shun-Ichiro Karato, Tectonophysics
' ... the chapters are well written and the arguments are presented clearly ... well suited for advanced graduate students and beyond. It serves both as a reference work on advanced techniques as well as an up-to-date account of our current knowledge and understanding of the earth's mantle. ... I recommend this book for anyone interested in studies of the earth's mantle.' Honk Kie Thio, Pure and Applied Geophysics
'The book ... succeeds admirably ... researchers with any interest in mantle geochemistry, petrology, or geophysics should buy this book, and all science and reference libraries will hopefully obtain a copy.' Christian Koeberl, Meteoritics and Planetary Science
