Further reading
P. Francis and C. Oppenheimer's Volcanoes (Oxford, 2004) is
the most accessible account of volcanoes. For a comprehen-
sive and practically orientated overview of plate tectonics
from the very basics, nothing can beat A. Cox and
R.B. Hart's Plate Tectonics; How it Works (Blackwell, 1986).
Comprehensive, stimulating, and accessible accounts are
P. Kearey and F. Vine's Global Tectonics (Blackwell, 1996)
and in E.M. Moores and R.J. Twiss's Tectonics (Freeman &
Company, 1995). The bible for advanced solid Earth studies
of melting, stress, strain, and general dynamics from the point
of view of mathematical physics is the unrivalled Geodynamics
by D.L. Turcotte and G. Schubert (Cambridge, 2002).
Probably the best intermediate level text is C.M.R Fowler's
The Solid Earth (Cambridge, 2005).
