Summary: Up from the depths - but only for the experts
Comment: Untrahigh pressure metamorphism has affected rocks that have been buried deep within the Earth (>60km). Such rocks were unknown about 15 years ago, but more and more examples are being found. This book summarizes what was known about these rocks in 1994 and is an excellent introduction to the topic. Research is continuing at a rapid pace, so the book is slightly out of date (the only reason for not giving it 5 stars). There are chapters on the mineralogy, the metamorphic textures and the tectonics of these remarkable rocks. The general public should be aware that this is a book for geoscience graduate students and professionals.
