Reviews
Review of previous edition: 'The real quality of this book lies in its authoritative character and depth of coverage ... a volume which will likely be well thumbed and littered with 'stickies' and other place markers by students and professors alike ... one of the excellent aspects of the book is the clever integration of different aspects of petrology ... a 'must-have' for any self-respecting petrologist.'

Edition Description
Revised edition
Synopsis
Designed for intermediate and advanced courses in igneous and metamorphic petrology, the new edition features over 500 figures, many in color, illustrating key petrological concepts. With a new introductory chapter and more qualitative end-of-chapter questions, this fully updated resource will guide students to an even greater mastery of petrology., Building upon the award-winning second edition, this comprehensive textbook provides a fundamental understanding of the formative processes of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Encouraging a deeper comprehension of the subject by explaining the petrologic principles, and assuming knowledge of only introductory college-level courses in physics, chemistry, and calculus, it lucidly outlines mathematical derivations fully and at an elementary level, making this the ideal resource for intermediate and advanced courses in igneous and metamorphic petrology. With over 500 illustrations, many in color, this revised edition contains valuable new material and strengthened pedagogy, including boxed mathematical derivations allowing for a more accessible explanation of concepts, and more qualitative end-of-chapter questions to encourage discussion. With a new introductory chapter outlining the "bigger picture," this fully updated resource will guide students to an even greater mastery of petrology.
