Students of a phenomenon as common but complex as andesite genesis
often are overwhelmed by, or overlook, the volume and diversity of
relevant information. Thus there is need for periodic overview even
in the absence of a dramatic breakthrough which "solves the
andesite problem" and even though new ideas and data keep the
issues in a state of flux. Thus I have summarized the subject
through mid.1980 from my perspective to help clarify the
long-standing problem and to identify profitable areas for future
research. Overviews are more easily justified than achieved and
there are fundamental differences of opinion concerning how to go
about them. It is professionally dangerous and therefore uncom mon
for single authors, especially those under 35 such as I, to
summarize a broad, active field of science in book-length thor
oughness. Review articles in journals, multi-authored books, or
symposia proceedings appear instead. The single-authored approach
is intimidating in scale and can result in loss of thoroughness or
authority on individual topics. The alternatives lack scope or
integration or both."
