The Evolution of the Igneous Rocks, by N. L. Bowen, appeared in
1928 and had a profound influence on later generations of
petrologists. Drawing on his series of lectures at Princeton
University in the spring of 1927, Dr. Bowen identified, outlined,
and applied the principles of physical chemistry relevant to
petrological processes. Whereas the major petrochemical questions
he discussed are still relevant today, the answers appear to change
with time. The purpose of the present volume is to provide an
updated view of those questions, in the light of almost fifty years
of accumulated observations, using the principles Bowen set forth.
Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
