Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology, compiled by Myron G. Best and published by CBS Publishers, offers an exhaustive coverage of the basic concepts, principles and factual data. The text is compiled to be a balanced instructional tool showing which properties of rock bodies are applicable to an understanding of their origin, and how these properties can be precisely understood to deliver genetic information on early geologic and planetary systems. Eloquent material on composition fabric and field relations on all scales of observation - from global to sub-microscopic - is presented along with fundamental thermodynamic principles and experimental data. Abundant illustrations are included to encourage students to make direct observations of real rock bodies. The intimate association between the origin and evolution of rock bodies, and tectonic processes and environments, especially on a global scale, is explained in detail.
