...represents a comprehensive study...one gets the impression that a real team achieved this excellent piece of work...whose high quality articles are presented in a logical manner. - Lithos; ...provides an up-to-date review of present understanding of the processes associated with eclogite facies metamorphism...Dr Carswell is to be congratulated on providing an excellent text on eclogite facies metamorphism. - Journal of Petrology
