New - This volume puts the Geological Conservation Review sites of south west England into their geological context. Details are given of the lavas, granites and associated rocks of Devon and Cornwall, which were formed throughout a major mountain-building episode, between 450-270 million years ago, and have shaped the economic growth of the region.

Igneous Rocks: A Classification and Glossary of Terms 2ed
Decades of field and microscope studies, and more recent quantitative geochemical analyses have resulted in a vast, and sometimes overwhelming, array of nomenclature and terminology associated with igneous rocks. This book presents a complete classification of igneous rocks based on all the recommendations of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) Subcommission on the Systematics of Igneous Rocks. The glossary of igneous terms has been fully updated since the first edition and now...

Gr 2-4-In these brief, basic introductions, virtually every page includes a color photograph or diagram and a brief fact box or caption. The texts focus on how these rocks were formed, and some of their possible uses. A note to adults states that the "clear picture/text correspondence" of the series is intended to "put the reader in charge." The color photographs are sharp and the illustrations are informative, but some of the layouts are busy and may confuse children. With each title averaging...

The origin of different kinds of igneous rocks can be understood in terms of the tectonic setting in which they form and in terms of the isotope compositions of strontium, neodymium, and lead they contain. This book explains the petrogenesis of igneous rocks as a consequence of tectonic processes resulting from interactions between asthenopheric plumes and the overlying lithospheric mantle. The relevant principles of isotope geochemistry are explained in Chapter 1 making this book accessible to university students...
