Earth's Oldest Rocks, Second Edition, is the only single reference
source for geological research of early Earth. This new edition is
an up-to-date collection of scientific articles on all aspects of
the early history of the Earth, from planetary accretion at 4.567
billion years ago (Ga), to the onset of modern-style plate
tectonics at 3.2 Ga. Since the first edition was published,
significant new advances have been made in our understanding of
events and processes on early Earth that correspond with new
advances in technology. The book includes contributions from over
100 authors, all of whom are experts in their respective fields.
The research in this reference concentrates on what is directly
gleaned from the existing rock record to understand how our planet
formed and evolved during the planetary accretion phase, formation
of the first crust, the changing dynamics of the mantle and style
of tectonics, life's foothold and early development, and mineral
deposits. It is an ideal resource for academics, students and the
general public alike.
