Caledonian Igneous Rocks of Great Britain
Describes the igneous rocks of Great Britain that formed as a direct result of the Caledonian Orogeny, between 500 and 390 million years ago. This work contains 130 GCR site descriptions illustrating the widespread and varied nature of the igneous activity and highlighting critical localities of historical and continuing international importance.
What Are Igneous Rocks?
"Igneous rocks are often portrayed as the result of one of Earth's most exciting events, a volcanic eruption. While some may form that way, igneous rock on Earth can form much more quietly, and even underground. This volume presents readers with all the ways igneous rock can form, as well as the names and full-color photographs of some of the most common types. Written to be a simple but thorough review of the topic, the main content is suited to readers of all levels."
What Are Igneous Rocks?
This volume covers volcanoes, magma, crystals, granite, and other aspects of igneous rocks. It includes the science behind the rock cycle and the formation of igneous rocks as well as household uses of igneous rocks.
Igneous Rocks
A look at what igneous rocks are, how they are formed and what they are used for.
Atlas of Igneous Rocks and Their Textures
A companion volume to the "Atlas of rock-forming minerals in thin section", this full-colour handbook is designed to be used as a laboratory manual both by elementary students of earth sciences undertaking a study of igneous rocks in thin section under the microscope, and by more advanced students and teachers as a reference work. The book is divided into two parts - Part one is devoted to photographs of many of the common textures found in igneous rocks with brief descriptions accompanying each photograph. Part two illustrates the appearance of examples of some sixty of the commonest (and a few not so common) igneous rock types; each photograph is accompanied by a brief description of the field of view shown. Nearly 300 full-colour photographs are included, and in many cases the same view is shown both in plen-polarized light and under crossed polars. A brief account of how thin sections can be prepared is included as an appendix.
