From the preface: ''This book summarizes the entire field of andesite genesis from a single perspective so as to weave together threads of argument which often are lost or ignored in reviews of more modest scope. Chapter 1 through 7 are the core of t his book and, at best, provide critical synthesis of diverse data, written with the constant objective of constraining theories of andesite genesis. At worst they annotate the over 1100 references cited. This book is written for graduate students and other professional earth scientists.'' Chapters are: 1) What is ''typical calcalkaline andesite''? 2) The plate tectonic connection. 3) Geophysical setting of volcanism at convergent plate boundaries. 4) Andesite magmas, ejecta, eruptions, and volcanoes. 5) Bulk chemical composition of orogenic andesites. 6) Mineralogy and mineral stabilities. 7) Spatial and temporal variations it he composition of orogenic andesites. 8) The role of subducted ocean crust in the genesis o orogenic andesites 9) The role of the mantle wedge. 10) The role of the crust. 11) The role of basalt differentiation. 12) Conclusion.
