In recent years, interest in Neoproterozoic glaciations has grown as their pivotal role in Earth system evolution has become increasingly clear. One of the main goals of the IGCP Project number 512 was to produce a synthesis of newly available information on Neoproterozoic successions worldwide. This Memoir consists of a series of overview chapters followed by site-specific chapters. The overviews cover key topics including the history of research on Neoproterozoic glaciations, identification of glacial deposits, chemostratigraphic techniques and datasets, palaeomagnetism, biostratigraphy, geochronology and climate modelling. The site specific chapters include reviews of the history of research on these rocks and up-to-date syntheses of the structural framework, tectonic setting, palaeomagnetic & geochronological constraints, physical, biological, and chemical stratigraphy, and descriptions of the glaciogenic and associated strata, including economic deposits.

Tasmania, its landscape, rocks and tectonic structures is the most misunderstood and less celebrated aspect of the state. It is so unique geologically, as it is related more to Antarctic geology than it is to mainland Australia. "Created from Chaos" is a definitive book interpreting (in understandable terminology) 101 Tasmanian goelogical sites and places . . . as old as 1300 million year rocks on King Island to the most recent landslides in Launceston. Using basic explanations and definitions, photographic images of Chaos sites, rocks, structures, Permian and Tertiary fossils, the author shows how to acknowledge this 'special place' . . . the island of Tasmania. The geological 'trail' was designed by the author for easy access and viewing from roads or short walking tracks. The colume will be invaluable to educators, researchers, students, fossickers and the public and could provide a first point of reference for scientists investigating Tasmania's geology and geological history.

Written for students and professionals, this revised textbook surveys the mineral industry from geological, environmental and economic perspectives. Thoroughly updated, the text includes a new chapter on technology industry metals as well as separate chapters on mineral economics and environmental geochemistry. Carefully designed figures simplify difficult concepts and show the location of important deposits and trade patterns, emphasising the true global nature of mineral resources. Featuring boxes highlighting special interest topics, the text equips students with the skills they need to contribute to the energy and mineral questions currently facing society, including issues regarding oil pipelines, nuclear power plants, water availability and new mining locations. Technical terms are highlighted when first used, and references are included to allow students to delve more deeply into areas of interest. Multiple choice and short answer questions are provided for instructors online at www.cambridge.org/kesler to complete the teaching package.
