‎Metamorphic Processes: Reactions and Microstructure Development HARDCOVER‎

‎New York: John Wiley & Sons 1976. HARDCOVER edition. NOT a library discard. Appears unread. Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket. NO fading chips tears or creases. Sharp corners. Pages are fresh crisp clean and unmarked -- apparently never read. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. NOT a library discard. Illustrated with numerous maps and figures. Bound in the original brown boards stamped in bright silver. From the dust jacket: "In this advanced book intended for senior undergraduates postgraduates and research workers in petrology and structural geology Dr. Vernon examines the small scale features of metamorphism; chemical reactions and the development of microstructure or textures." From the author's Preface: "This book is for senior undergraduate or postgraduate students who want an insight into some modern approaches to metamorphic petrology. Its aims are to explain in reasonably simple informal terms the processes underlying i metamorphic reactions and ii the production of micro structures in metamorphic rocks these currently being the things that interest me most geologically. The first aim requires discussion of equilibrium factors reaction kinetics and reaction mechanisms empha sising both the complexity of realistic reactions and the need to combine the chemical and microstructural approaches to them. The second aim requires discussion of deformation recovery recrystallisation and grain growth processes with emphasis on experiments on silicate minerals. The book concludes with a general attempt to relate chemical and physical processes in metamorphism although it will be clear from reading earlier chapters especially Chapter 4 that the two aspects can rarely be separated completely in detailed metamorphic studies. Petrological and experimental investigations of metamorphic reactions and microstructural development are advancing so rapidly these days that students are faced with an ever-increasing volume of information and a relatively rapid obsolescence of data. So in this book I do not try to be comprehensive or to present much so-called 'factual' information. Instead I deal more with basic principles in the hope that these will guide the student in his or her encounters with the details of specific metamorphic problems…". First Edition. Hardcover.
