Building upon the award-winning second edition, this comprehensive textbook provides a fundamental understanding of the formative processes of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Encouraging a deeper comprehension of the subject by explaining the petrologic principles, and assuming knowledge of only introductory college-level courses in physics, chemistry, and calculus, it lucidly outlines mathematical derivations fully and at an elementary level, making this the ideal resource for intermediate and advanced courses in igneous and metamorphic petrology. With over 500 illustrations, many in color, this revised edition contains valuable new material and strengthened pedagogy, including boxed mathematical derivations allowing for a more accessible explanation of concepts, and more qualitative end-of-chapter questions to encourage discussion. With a new introductory chapter outlining the "bigger picture," this fully updated resource will guide students to an even greater mastery of petrology.
Anthony R. Philpotts is Emeritus Professor of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Connecticut, a visiting fellow at Yale University, and an adjunct professor at the University of Massachusetts. He has over forty years of teaching experience. He has worked on Precambrian massif-type anorthosites, pseudotachylites, alkaline rocks, and liquid immiscibility in FeTi oxide systems and in tholeiitic magmas. He has been awarded the Peacock Memorial Prize of the Walker Mineralogical Club of Toronto and the Hawley Award of the Mineralogical Association of Canada. He has served as an editor for the Canadian Mineralogist and the Journal of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Jay J. Ague is the Henry Barnard Davis Memorial Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Yale University, and the Curator-in-Charge of Mineralogy and Meteoritics at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. He studies fluid flow, chemical reactions, mass transfer, and heat transfer in Earth' s lithosphere, focusing on the metamorphic and igneous rocks comprising the deep roots of mountain belts. He has given the Daly Lecture for the American Geophysical Union and is a fellow of the Geological Society of America, the Geological Society of London, and the Mineralogical Society of America. He was the lead editor of the American Journal of Science (1998 to 2008), and has served on the editorial boards of Chemical Geology, Geology, and the Journal of Metamorphic Geology.
