This second edition is fully updated to include new developments in
the study of metamorphism as well as enhanced features to
facilitate course teaching. It integrates a systematic account of
the mineralogical changes accompanying metamorphism of the major
rock types with discussion of the conditions and settings in which
they formed. The use of textures to understand metamorphic history
and links to rock deformation are also explored. Specific chapters
are devoted to rates and timescales of metamorphism and to the
tectonic settings in which metamorphic belts develop. These provide
a strong connection to other parts of the geology curriculum. Key
thermodynamic and chemical concepts are introduced through examples
which demonstrate their application and relevance. Richly
illustrated in colour and featuring end-of-chapter and online
exercises, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to
metamorphic rocks and processes for undergraduate students of
petrology, and provides a solid basis for advanced study and
research.
