Winter J.D. Principles of Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology

2nd edition– Pearson Education Limited,2013.– 744 p. – ISBN10: 1292021535
Typical texts on igneous and metamorphic petrology are geared to either advanced or novice petrology students. This unique text offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of both igneous and metamorphic petrology in a single volume-and provides the quantitative and technical background required to critically evaluate igneous and metamorphic phenomena in a way that students at all levels can understand. The goal throughout is for students to be able to apply the techniques-and enjoy the insights of the results-rather than tinker with theory and develop everything from first principles.Abbreviations and Acronyms
