Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book challenges one of the core assumptions of Plate Tectonics – that the plates are rigid and don’t undergo deformation. … this book is a valuable contribution to the current debate … . This is an interesting book, about results rather than methods, which is why the author has included such an extensive and valuable reference list. … this book is a rewarding read that could change your outlook. Geoscientists of all flavours will find something of interest in this book … ." (Kevin McCue, The Australian Geologist, Issue 127, 2003)
"A new book with an interesting hypothesis … A fundamental tenet of plate tectonics is incorrect – namely that the plates are rigid. … Overall, I found the book to be very well organized … . The writing is extremely clear. … The best praise I can give Soft Plate and Impact Tectonics is that I enjoyed reading it, learned a lot, and will recommend it to others. … The book will be very useful for graduate students." (Basil Tikoff, EOS – American Geophysical Union, Vol. 83 (50), 2002)
