Hi Eric, Here's the info we received from Winter via GEOMETAMORPHISM. Cheers, Walt Dear All, Please pardon for shameless advertising and any multiple postings, but my new text: An Introduction to Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology, just came out this week. It is published by Prentice Hall and the ISBN is 0-13-240342-0. I have attempted to create an up-to-date text with extensive sections on petrogenes. I think it would be suitable for either separate igneous and metamorphic classes or a combined course. Ask your Prentice Hall rep for an examination copy if you are interested. I have attached a table of contents as a Word file. Regards.
