The Thirteenth International Conference on Basement Tectonics was held on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia from June 2 -6, 1997.
This is the first book to deal specifically with the procedures used in the analysis of structural relationships and the determination of structural successions in complexly deformed rocks such as migmatites and gneisses.
The workshop "e;From Dust to Terrestrial Planets"e; was initiated by a working group of planetary scientists invited to ISSI by Johannes Geiss in November 1997.
Partial melting occurs in a variety of geological environments, from granitic partial melts in the continental crust, to basaltic or carbonate partial melts in the upper mantle.

Modern approaches to the theoretical computation and experimental determination of NMR shielding tensors are described in twenty-nine papers based on lectures presented at the NATO ARW.
This volume illustrates some of the significant aspects of magmatic activity from Devonian (408 million years ago) to early Permian (270 million years ago) times in SW England.

A knowledge of clay is important in many spheres of scientific endeav- our, particularly in natural sciences such as geology, mineralogy and soil science, but also in more applied areas like environmental and mater- ials science.

On February 19, 1973, five centuries have elapsed since the birth of Nicolaus Coperni- cus - the greatest astronomer of the Renaissance period - who rediscovered for us the heliocentric model of the solar system, and documented it by his life's work in such a manner as to make its concept a permanent property of mankind.
This volume arises from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on 'North African Cretaceous rudist and coral formations and their contributions to carbonate platform development , which was held in Tunisia, on 13-18 May, 2002.
During the past few years there has been a marked increase in the use of advanced chemical methods in studies of soil and clay mineral systems, but only a relatively small number of soil and clay scientists have become intimately associ- ated and acquainted with these new techniques.

Plan of Review This review of clay microstructure is aimed at the diverse group of professionals who share an interest in the properties of fine-grained minerals in sediments.
The Proterozoic terrains of South Scandinavia and the Grenville Province in North-America have many common features : Regional high- grade metamorphism (Granulite-facies), anorthosites, etc.
The Advanced Science Institute on which this publication is based took the somewhat unusual form of a geological field symposium held during late August 1984.

Over 60% of the Earth's surface is covered with deep marine sediments, however, until the early 1980s, no comprehensive text books appeared to support the rapid expansion in the study of these sediments.
Many geologists have an equivocal attitude to fluid movements within the crust and the associated changes in the chemical and physical properties of crustal rocks.
This book consists of a collection of papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on "e;Crust/mantle Recycl ing at Convergence Zones,"e; held in Antalya, Turkey, between May 25 to 29, 1987.
This book is an attempt to provide a comprehensive and coherent description of three widely separated aspects of clays: the science of clays; the industrial uses of clays; and the role of clays in the environment.
