What reading level is The Fundamental Principles of Petrology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Further, the plagioclase, which appears perfectly fresh and transparent in thin sections, is filled with sharply-formed, unoriented microlites of clinozoisite, garnet, muscovite, and sillimanite, in some cases so abundant that a thick section of the mineral appears dull and opaque. Where the rock has a distinct parallel texture, these minerals, as well as the mica, occur in parallel layers. In many cases the feldspar crystals, plagio- clase as well as orthoclase, were fractured but later reunit...ed by a cement of quartz and feldspar upon the final crystallization of the mother-liquor. Lastly, the quartz has a typical cataclastic texture, indicating the stresses through which it passed. The original texture was naturally made indistinct by all these subsequent changes, so that phenocrysts of feldspar, where found, do not have the sharply-defined outlines and haphazard arrangement which they have in normal porphyritic granite, but lie with their flat sides parallel to the schistosity of the rock and occur in lenses, usually fine-granular at the borders.
