All Earth Science students need to understand the origins,
environments, and basic processes that produce igneous and
metamorphic rocks. This concise introductory textbook provides
students with the essential knowledge needed to understand how
petrology relates to other topics in the geologic sciences, and has
been written specifically for one-semester courses. Throughout, the
emphasis is on interpreting the mineralogy and petrology of rock
suites in terms of origin and environment, with the first half of
the book concentrating on igneous rocks, and the second half on
metamorphic rocks. This Second Edition has been thoroughly revised
and brought completely up-to-date. It now includes a new chapter on
the application of stable and radiogenic isotopes in petrology,
introducing students to the concept of isotopic fractionation and
describing the process of radioactive decay. The discussions of
phase diagrams, connections between igneous and metamorphic rock
suites, and convergent margin magmatism have also been expanded.
There is a new glossary of terms, updated end-of-chapter exercises,
and updated further readings.
