Introduction to Planetary Volcanism (Prentice Hall Earth Science Series)

A textbook with three potential uses: for undergraduates in liberal arts fulfilling their science requirement, a core text for a one-semester course on volcanism or a supplement for a one- year general geology course; for undergraduates who have completed a general geology course and want to study volcanism further; and as a supplement for a course in igneous petrology. Describes volcanic processes and products, then surveys the planets and larger satellites of the solar system. Includes a glossary without pronunciation.
