Summary:

"This book is certainly an exciting contribution to the field. It fills the need for a solid Earth science textbook that can convey the excitement of the research frontier. Most previous work had relied on speculation. Professor Karato is very knowledgeable at interpreting seismology with mineral physics. And he is an independent thinker."--Toshiro Tanimoto, University of California, Santa Barbara

"This is an exciting and eye-opening, well-written book that provides an updated overview of theoretical aspects of solid earth science. It does so quite successfully. The very sound scholarship reflects substantial original contributions by the author while also paying due attention to classic works."--Seiya Uyeda, Professor Emeritus, University of Tokyo
