Descriptive material on composition fabric and field relations on all scales of observation-from global to sub microscopic is presented along with basic thermodynamic principles and experimental data. Abundant illustrations encourage the student to make direct observations of real rock bodies. The intimate association between the origin and evolution of rock bodies and tectonic processes and environments especially on a global scale.
