Introduction to Metamorphic Textures and Microstructures

This is one of the few modern texts to give a comprehensive introduction to the full range of textural and microstructural features for geology students and to focus solely on the interpretation of these features. This new edition has been expanded and updated to take account of the major advances in the subject since publication of the first edition. Illustrated throughout, the book makes extensive use of electron microscope images to assist students in understanding the role of advanced techniques in the interpretation of metamorphic rocks. This edition is enhanced by the inclusion of colour illustrations.
