Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology by Francis J. Turner and John Verhoogen is a comprehensive study of the origin, composition, classification and formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks. The book explores the chemical and physical processes involved in magma formation and crystallisation, the characteristics of different rock types, and the effects of heat, pressure and chemical changes during metamorphism. Covering topics such as volcanic and plutonic rock associations, metamorphic facies, mineral assemblages and rock structures, this illustrated reference provides an in-depth foundation in petrology for geology students, researchers and practising geologists.
