The bible of Igneous petrology new and improved
|
|
This comprehensive work examines every facet of igneous processes from intrusion/extrusion, to chemical composition and evolution followed by a detailed look at the resulting rock types.The book takes a intergrated approach stressing that the formation of magma, its geochemistry or the process of its emplacment should be viewed in the context of its tectonic setting. Concepts are clearly explained and well illustrated with only a basic knowledge of geological processes assumed. That said the great detail entered into and the extensive bibliography make it a great asset for postgraduate and research workers alike.
