Description

Book Synopsis
Taking a mathematical approach, this book brings together the essential theory required to understand the behaviour of trace elements in magmas and magma-derived rocks. It provides an excellent resource for graduate students, petrologists, geochemists and mineralogists, as well as researchers in geophysics and materials science.

Trade Review
'… a very clearly written book that will find extensive use by advanced undergraduates and will act as an excellent reference for the postgraduate and research community.' Journal of Geological Magazine
