Description
An Introduction to Metamorphic Petrology by Bruce Yardley and Clare Warren is a comprehensive textbook that provides a systematic account of the mineralogical changes accompanying metamorphism of major rock types. The second edition has been fully updated to include new developments in the study of metamorphism, as well as enhanced features to facilitate course teaching.
Richly illustrated in colour, this book explores the conditions and settings in which metamorphic rocks form, including the use of textures to understand metamorphic history and links to rock deformation. It also covers rates and timescales of metamorphism, tectonic settings in which metamorphic belts develop, and introduces key thermodynamic and chemical concepts through examples that demonstrate their application and relevance.
With end-of-chapter exercises and online resources, this textbook is an ideal introduction to metamorphic rocks and processes for undergraduate students of petrology, providing a solid basis for advanced study and research.
