Description

This book in honour of Alexander Clark McLaren on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday and retirement has as its theme the role of defect structures in the processes of deformation, phase transformations and microstructural development in rocks and minerals. These topics also span the major scientific interests that have exercised the mind and research activities of Alexander Clark McLaren over the past forty years.
