"This multidisciplinary volume provides an authoritative overview of the Slave craton literally from the bottom up, integrating the nature of its lithosphere based on kimberlitic mantle samples with its upper crustal geology to provide a new model for its Archean assembly and cratonization. All aspects of Slave craton geology are covered, from the stratigraphy of its famous gold camps to the history of exploration and nature of its world-class diamondiferous kimberlite fields. Detailed and well-illustrated chapters cover its terranes and greenstone belts, magmatism, geophysical character, tectono-metamorphic evolution, and Paleoproterozoic marginal sequences."--
