Review
" The book is an excellent textbook for either an upper class undergraduate course or a graduate course in Earth history."
-Eos (Bulletin of the American Geophysical Union), 2005
Praise for Condie's Plate Tectonics 4E:
"By any standard, this book is a remarkable achievement. The author has produced an outstanding synthesis of more than three decades of research on plate tectonics, mantle evolution and the origin of continents."
--Geoscientist
"This volume provides a substantial update to Condie's established text,Plate Tectonics and Crustal Evolution, Fourth Edition. It emphasizes the interactive nature of various components of the Earth system..."

This review is from: Earth as an Evolving Planetary System (Paperback)
Condie gives a great overview of plate tectonics and systems of Earth as they connect, rather than treating them as individual systems.

Earth as an evolving planetary system, Aug 31 2007
By Zorano Sergio Souza - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Earth as an Evolving Planetary System (Paperback)
This an exellent book for undergratuation level and also as an introductory post-graduation course. It presents an overview of the internal structure of the Earth, its evolution since Archean to Recent times and relations among plate tectonic, mantle plumes and magma genesis. However, I believe that some figures should be redrawn with better quality.

This review is from: Earth as an Evolving Planetary System (Paperback)
it's cheaper than those in bookstore. Although there is some marks in the book, it doesn't really matter.
