1	An Introduction to Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology more books like this by John D Winter add to wishlist For a combined, one-semester, junior/senior-level course in Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology. Also useful for programs that teach Igneous Petrology and Metamorphic Petrology separately. Unlike other texts on igneous and metamorphic petrology--which are geared to either advanced or novice petrology students--this text offers unique, comprehensive ... see all copies from $49.94! new only from $49.94! \| first editions
2	Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology more books like this by Myron G Best add to wishlist Igneous and metamorphic petrology has over the last 20 years expanded rapidly into a broad, multifaceted, and increasingly quantitative science. Advances in geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics, as well as the appearance of new analytical tools, have all contributed to new ways of thinking about the origin and evolution of magmas, and the ... see all copies from $4.75! new only from $62.00! \| SVS
3	Potassic Igneous Rocks and Associated Gold-Copper Mineralization more books like this by Daniel Muller add to wishlist This book reviews the geochemical and petrological characteristics of the potassic igneous rock complexes and investigates the different tectonic settings in which these rocks occur. The authors provide an overview and a classification of these rocks and attempt to elucidate the geochemical differences between barren and mineralized potassic ... see all copies from $55.00! new only from $55.00!

10	Physics and Chemistry of Partially Molten Rocks more books like this by Nick Bagdassarov (Editor), Alan B Thompson (Editor), Didier Laporte (Editor) add to wishlist Partial melting occurs in a variety of geological environments, from granitic partial melts in the continental crust, to basaltic or carbonate partial melts in the upper mantle. Partial melting is the first stage of magmatism and therefore plays a role of primary importance in the chemical differentiation of the Earth and in the transport of heat ... see all copies from $75.00! new only from $127.00! \| first editions \| SVS
11	Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks Under the Microscope, Classification, Textures, Microstructures and Mineral Preferred Orientation more books like this by David Shelley add to wishlist This is the first modern text to provide a thorough integrated treatment of those parts of the subject that use the polarizing microscope as the central analytical tool. The book is divided into three parts and a comprehensive glossary/index provides easy access to the contents of the book. see all copies from $47.57! new only from $118.77! \| SVS

16 view cover	Origins of Igneous Rocks more books like this by Paul C. Hess add to wishlist This rigorous and up-to-date synthesis of current research and thought in igneous petrology explores the complex process of the generation and cooling of igneous rocks--those formed by solidification from a molten state, either intrusively, below the earth's crust, or extrusively as lava. Through the study of the mineral associations, compositions ... see all copies from $25.66! new only from $125.72!
