Global literature records a change from a classical petrographic approach to emphasis on mineral chemistry, trace element characteristics, tectonic setting, phase relations, and theoretical simulation of magma generation and evolution processes. This book contains contributions by international experts in different fields of igneous petrology and presents an overview of recent developments. This book is dedicated to the late Dr Mihir K. Bose, former professor of the Department of Geology, Presidency College, Calcutta, India, who actively participated in the development of this new global view of igneous petrology. Audience: This book will be valuable for scientists and researchers working in igneous petrology and geochemistry. OP - 485 CN - QE514-516.5 SN - 9789048196005 KW - Geochemistry. ER -
