What is included with this book?
Derived from the prestigious Ridge 2000 InterRidge Theoretical Institute held in 2004, Back-Arc Spreading Systems: Geological, Biological, Chemical, and Physical Interactions reviews the state of the science, with select case studies.
Experienced researchers in, and students of, marine geology, biological oceanography, marine geochemistry, volcanology, petrology, and geo- and paleomagnetism will find this volume a significant resource now and for the near future.
David M. Christie and Charles R. Fisher are the authors of Back-Arc Spreading Systems: Geological, Biological, Chemical, and Physical Interactions, published by Wiley.
