The volume is divided into three main parts. Each one is directly referred to the basic directions of Korzhinskiy's scientific activity: (I) general thermodynamics and mineral equilibria as applied to geology, (II) metasomatic and metamorphic petrology, (III) properties of melts and magmatic petrology. The papers were written by people who personally knew D.S. Korzhinskiy or are well acquainted with his work. The world community of geoscientists has highly valued his contributions to petrology, particularly the discovery and thermodynamic description of open systems with
perfectly mobile components.
