"Geodynamics by Turcotte and Schubert (2014) provides a deterministic, physics-based exposition of solid-Earth processes at a mathematical level assessible to most students. This classic textbook begins with a clear and concise overview of plate tectonics, followed by stress and strain in solids, elasticity and flexure, heat transfer, gravity, fluid mechanics, rock rheology, faulting, flows in porous media, and chemical geodynamics; the latest edition has sections on numerical modeling. I have used this textbook in a graduate level class for the past 28 years to prepare students in quantitative modeling of Earth processes. The book uses a minimum of mathematical complexity, so it can be understood by a wide range of students in a variety of fields. However, this more limited mathematical approach does not provide the graduate student with the tools to develop more advanced models having 3-dimensional geometries and time dependence"--
