"In their authoritative introduction to the mechanics of fracture growth, flow in single fractures, and flow in fractured porous media, the two expert authors cover topics that are currently not found within a single text and provide an understanding of how all of these subjects interconnect. Discussions of analytical, experimental, and numerical results illustrate and support the explained concepts. Each chapter is supported by problems and summary tables, and contains schematic images as well s field photographs, thus providing a unique learning experience for students and professional with an interest in fluid flow through fractured media."--

In this newly revised and expanded edition the reader finds both an introduction to igneous petrology and an exposition of the quantitative use of phase diagrams in understanding the origin and crystallization history of basic magmas. The book provides a step-by- step analysis of crystallization and melting in a limited number of geologically significant phase diagrams. The limiting processes of fractional and equilibrium melting and fractional and equilibrium crystallization are rigorously examined. Examples of the use of phase diagrams are drawn from the literature of layered intrusions, redox equilibria in iron-bearing systems, and the high pressure equilibria of melting in the mantle.
