New York: Plenum Press, 1986. Hardback octavo, no jacket as issued, very good condition, figures, tables, edges lightly foxed, some edgewear, owner's written name. 442 pp. Roger Mitchell provides a book about the petrology of kimberlites (and not about upper mantle xenoliths, diamonds, or prospecting for kimberlites). It is a comprehensive survey and critique of advances in kimberlite studies over the last 25 years. Kimberlites are rare rock types, but their relative obscurity is overriden by their economic and petrological importance to a degree which is not shared by more common rocks. Kimberlites are consequently of interest to a diverse group of earth scientists, ranging from isotope geochemists concerned with the evolution of the mantle, to volcanologists pondering the origins of diatremes, to exploration geologists seeking new occurrences of the diamondiferous varieties.
