Description For a combined, one-semester, junior/senior-level course in Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology. Metric Old World Underground Rar. Also useful for programs that teach Igneous Petrology and Metamorphic Petrology. Typical texts on igneous and metamorphic petrology are geared to either advanced or novice petrology students.
This unique text offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of both igneous and metamorphic petrology in a single volume—and provides the quantitative and technical background required to critically evaluate igneous and metamorphic phenomena in a way that students at all levels can understand. The goal throughout is for students to be able to apply the techniques—and enjoy the insights of the results—rather than tinker with theory and develop everything from first principles. • A balanced presentation limits the theory to the extent that students can practice it on real occurrences—without such excessive detail that the course becomes more like chemistry than geology. • A concentration on the processes and principles involved in the generation of igneous and metamorphic rocks (rather than on lists of details to be memorized) enables students to develop a deeper understanding, a more lasting knowledge, and skills that will prove valuable beyond the classroom. • A survey of actual occurrences of igneous and metamorphic rocks, and processes that produce them, is provided. This section is often greatly condensed in most other texts, but it is the most interesting and dynamic aspect of petrology.
