Igneous Petrology (2nd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Essential Student Material
Review: This book has something that is sorely lacking in many textbooks. It is easy to read without skimping on the technical material, and a must for geology students, especially those with an interest in petrology. Ample examples are given and fully explained in context on a wide range of concepts essential to the students understanding. While perhaps not as in depth as Wilson, this book is comprehensive, well structured and provides a more than adequate introduction to the fascinating world of igneous petrology. Two thumbs up!
