This book examines the geological aspects of the ultrahigh pressure minerals - diamond and coesite - in the Earth's crust.
"Fascinating...I highly recommend this volume. All geologists and geophysicists who ponder the metamorphism and kinematics of collisional origins should have access to a copy." Kenneth L. Currie, The Canadian Mineralogist
