Editorial Review:
"Petrology" 3rd edition successfully builds upon the strengths of its predecessor, but now also includes fresh and engaging features to bring the book to the forefront of today's teaching. New chapters on Volcanism, new appendices and sharper photos make this a must-have for all students of petrology. In addition to these changes, "Petrology" has been thoroughly updated throughout and remains the only text of its kind to cover all three different rock types.

Good Basic Text 2005-06-05
This is a very good introductory petrology text which combines igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic petrology in one volume. With a publication date of 1996, it may be getting a little long in the tooth, however. For example, the book discusses the Wilson hot spot model without reference to mantle plumes. With the exception of some apparent confusion about the effect on seismic velocity of the asthenosphere, I found no significant errors nor editing problems. My only significant criticism is that all of the photographs are in black and white, and some are printed so darkly that details are hard to make out. One would think that, with a price approaching $100, the publisher would be able to include a bit of color in the appropriate places.


Geology students 1999-02-13
This book can be very informative if you know what you're looking for in it. I would reccomend it to students who are geology majors if it is not already required.
