Rheology of the Earth by Giorgio Ranalli
Beginning with basic principles, this advanced text gives a complete treatment of deformation and flow of earth materials from both the continuum mechanics and the microphysical viewpoints. is completely up to date, providing a much needed account of thermal and mechanical processes in geodynamics.
Reviews of the first edition:
`offers an introduction to the physical principles underlying rheological studies, and an up-to-date review of their applications in geophysics and tectonics'
Geophysics
`Professor Ranalli's work will be a valuable handbook to many geologists and geophysicists who wish to gain insight into current thinking on the rheological aspects of 'Bodynamics'.'
British Geologist
`The book is well-organized and pedagogical.'
CHOICE
`The author has identified a gap in the literature that needed filling... The book is well organized, and clearly and carefully written... it is also rigorous and systematic... I enjoyed reading it and strongly recommend it...'
