The fourth volume in this series consists of eleven chapters. The
first five deal with more theoretical aspects of the kinetics and
mechanisms of meta morphic reactions, and the next six consider the
interdependence of defor mation and metamorphism. All papers deal
with natural processes that inter act on various time scales and
with different degrees of mass and heat transfer. Consequently,
many fundamental axioms of metamorphic petrol ogy and structural
geology are questioned both for their accuracy and their
usefulness. In raising such questions, most contributors have
pointed to ways in which the answers could be forthcoming from
appropriate experi mental studies or observations on natural
materials. In their discussion of how order/disorder can influence
mineral assem blages, Carpenter and Putnis emphasize that
metastable crystal growth is common in metamorphic systems and
state' 'there may be some reluctance (among many earth scientists)
to accept that significant departures from equilibrium could
occur." On the basis of presented evidence, they question whether
reactions ever occur close to an equilibrium boundary. The neces
sity for pressure or temperature overstepping is also required by
nucleation rate theory. In any case, the degree of order is
severely influenced by these kinetic effects in igneous,
sedimentary, and metamorphic environments."
