This book outlines the general trends in igneous evolution throughout the Earth's history and analyses the timing of the major phases of igneous activity in different regions. It summarizes the characteristics and paths of igneous evolution along with their possible causes.

Magnatism is the only true endogenic process for generating new material on the Earth's surface. Obviously, magmatism and tectonic movements are reflections of geodynamics, that is, physical processes which occur in deep-seated environments. What are the interrelationships between magmatism and tectronics? How did the character of terrestrial magmatism change through time and are there any irregularities in this process?
