This revised edition contains numerous diagrams showing the stability relations among minerals found in metamorphic rocks. Part 1 explains basic principles of metamorphism, introduces metamorphic processes and geologic thermobarometry, and defines metamorphic grade. Part 2 presents in a systematic way mineralogical changes and assemblages found in the most common types of rocks. The computation of the diagrams is based on recent advances in quantitative petrology and geochemistry.
