Petrology of the igneous rocks

During the period 1983 to 1986, the large number of papers, books, and monographs published on the petrology and geochemistry of igneous rocks reflects the vitality and continued growth of this central earth science discipline. While an attempt has been made to prepare a reasonably complete bibliography, the accompanying text, of necessity, reflects a subjective selection of topics. If some papers have escaped my net I apologize and assure the authors that the omissions are inadvertent. A list of books and monographs is provided in the first section of the bibliography. Papers dealing with isotopic and/or trace elements studies on igneous rocks are included in the bibliography if these papers also contain a significant petrologic component. The review by R. Carlson in this volume contains a complete reference list on this topic.
