Rezensionen

'If you want to teach or learn about metamorphic petrology, I would go no further than Yardley and Warren's An Introduction to Metamorphic Petrology. Its rigorous foundation for the study of metamorphic rocks delivers on the three most important 'C's - concise, clear and comprehensive. Virtually everything I have wanted to teach my students about metamorphic rocks is here, from basic mineralogical principles to chemographics, thermodynamics and tectonic applications, while the illustrations and end-chapter exercises bring home the concepts. I'm excited to improve the education of my students with this text!' Matthew Kohn, Boise State University
