Summary:"This book is a follow-up to Special Paper 500: The Web of Geological Sciences: Advances, Impacts, and Interactions, which was prepared to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Geologic Society of America, and whose theme was 'What have we learned in the last fifty years?' Three important disciplines that were not covered in the first book are engagingly presented here, 'Earth's dynamic surface: The past 50 years in geomorphology' by Ellen Wohl et al., 'The metamorphosis of metamorphic petrology' by Frank Spear et al. and 'The Archean-Hadean Earth: Modern paradigms and ancient processes' by Paul Mueller and Allen Nutman. Readers will find these chapters comprehensive and readable. They will appeal to professional scientists and especially to teachers.
