Ophiolites, Arcs, and Batholiths
Wright (geology, U. of Georgia) and Shervais (geology, Utah State U.) edit selections from a symposium titled "Ophiolites, Batholiths, and Regional Geology: A Session in Honor of Cliff Hopson" held at the Cordilleran Section Meeting of The Geological Society of America in 2005. With contributions from geologists and earth scientists from throughout the United States, the title contains separate sections for papers on the topics of ophiolites, arcs, and batholiths. The publication is illustrated in both black-and-white and color, but contains no index.
New Earth Book Three: Rough Trails
Months after leaving Earth, the struggling colonists on the new world of Belle Terre have barely established a toehold on their new home, a ravaged world still recovering from a catastrophic planetary distaster. Cyclones, storms, landslides and flash floods make survival itself a constant challenge. While Captain Kirk and the Starship Enterprise patrol the sector, on guard against predatory aliens and avaricious space pirates, officers Chekov, Uhura and Sulu stay behind to assist the settlers in their struggle to put down roots in the turbulent soil of an angry planet. But the colonists are a fiercely independent group, not inclined to take orders or direction from their Starfleet guardians. Chekov and the others find their ingenuity and diplomatic skills tested to the limit to save a people to don't seem to want their help!

Minerals, Inclusions and Volcanic Processes
Volume 69 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry covers the fundamental issues of volcanology: At what depths are eruptions triggered, and over what time scales? Where and why do magmas coalesce before ascent? If magmas stagnate for thousands of years, what forces are responsible for initiating final ascent, or the degassing processes that accelerate upward motion? To the extent that we can answer these questions, we move towards formulating tests of mechanistic models of volcanic eruptions (e.g., Wilson, 1980; Slezin, 2003; Scandone et al., 2007), and hypotheses of the tectonic controls on magma transport (e.g., ten Brink and Brocher, 1987; Takada, 1994; Putirka and Busby, 2007). Our goal, in part, is to review how minerals can be used to understand volcanic systems and the processes that shape them; we also hope that this work will spur new and integrated studies of volcanic systems.
