5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Student Material, January 19, 2001

By 

justine lewis (NSW, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Igneous Petrology (2nd Edition) (Textbook Binding)

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!

This review is from: IGNEOUS PETROLOGY (Paperback)

I totally agree with Justine. What I like about this book is that it has plenty of examples with easy explanations. Plus, explanations of things not ordinarily explained in other petrology books. For example, what is the significance of Eu anomolies, how does one interpret REE diagrams etc. It is a very good reference book.
