| Summary, etc |
This second edition is fully updated to include new developments in the study of metamorphism as well as enhanced features to facilitate course teaching. It integrates a systematic account of the mineralogical changes accompanying metamorphism of the major rock types with discussion of the conditions and settings in which they formed. The use of textures to understand metamorphic history and links to rock deformation are also explored. Specific chapters are devoted to rates and timescales of metamorphism and to the tectonic settings in which metamorphic belts develop. These provide a strong connection to other parts of the geology curriculum. Key thermodynamic and chemical concepts are introduced through examples which demonstrate their application and relevance. Richly illustrated in colour and featuring end-of-chapter and online exercises, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to metamorphic rocks and processes for undergraduate students of petrology, and provides a solid basis for advanced study and research.<br/><br/>A comprehensively updated and rewritten edition of this classic textbook<br/>Provides a simple but comprehensive guide to metamorphic petrology, suitable for a one semester course<br/>Includes many student-friendly features including full colour illustrations and numerous exercises<br/><br/>Reviews & endorsements<br/>'If you want to teach or learn about metamorphic petrology, I would go no further than Yardley and Warren's An Introduction to Metamorphic Petrology. Its rigorous foundation for the study of metamorphic rocks delivers on the three most important 'C's - concise, clear and comprehensive. Virtually everything I have wanted to teach my students about metamorphic rocks is here, from basic mineralogical principles to chemographics, thermodynamics and tectonic applications, while the illustrations and end-chapter exercises bring home the concepts. I'm excited to improve the education of my students with this text!' Matthew Kohn, Boise State University<br/><br/>'This gem of a book is exclusively devoted to explaining metamorphic petrology, and contains abundant examples, illustrations and photographs to guide the reader through understanding the world of metamorphic rocks. The style of writing is very accessible, and the authors convey complex scientific concepts in an approachable way.' Sarah Penniston-Dorland, University of Maryland<br/><br/>'Yardley and Warren have succeeded with the impressive feat of transforming 'the classic Yardley' into a state-of-the-art metamorphic petrology textbook without losing the core concepts of the first edition. This new edition benefits from numerous thin section photomicrographs, three completely new chapters and a more didactic layout that includes end-of-chapter summaries and questions.' Thomas Zack, University of Gothenburg<br/><br/>'A key addition to this book, and one that I'm sure teachers and lecturers will appreciate and utilise, is a set of exercises at the end of each chapter. The illustrations are well chosen and well crafted (and include some beautiful photographs); this is an important component of the book, as these illustrations are critical for conveying complex processes. Overall, the authors have done a tremendous job in crafting a classic, into what I predict will also become an as popular and well-revered textbook.' Nick M. W. Roberts, Mineralogical Magazine.<br/><br/>Includes colored illustrations, colored figures, tables, summary, exercises, appendices, references and index. |
