Presents the principles of convection in the Earth's mantle in an accessible style, summarising key observations and introducing the relevant physics, starting from basic principles.
`Seismic imaging allows geophysicists to trace flow cells in the mantle...Until now, finding out about this workmeant wading through journals and hefty research papers. Geoffrey Davies has changed all that with his superb book.' Rob Butler, New Scientist
`the book is an elegant and readable exposition with a clear message of how the plates and mantle probably work. The entrance of mantle-convection theory into mainstream Earth-science education is a cause which this book champions admirably.' David Bercovici, Nature
