Classification, petrology and tectonic setting of boninites; boninites and high-Mg-andesites - tectonics and petrogenesis; high K2O rocks with high MgO, high S;O affinities; experimental studies on boninitic petrogenesis; experimental evidence for the origin of boninites - near liquidus phase relations to 7.5Kbar; geochemistry and petrogenesis of archaen and early proterozoic siliceous high magnesian basalts; significance and origin of boninite-like rocks associated with the Bushveld complex; petrology and geochemistry of early proterozoic high-Mg dykes from the Vestfold Hills; geological setting, petrology and chemistry of Cambrian boninites and low-Ti tholeiite lavas in West Tasmania; boninite lavas in Appalachian ophiolites - a review; petrology of boninitic lavas from the Limassol Forest complex, Cyprus; contrasting boninite-tholeiite associations from New Caledonia; boninites and tholeiites from DSDP Site 45 Mariana torearo; petrogenesis of high-Mg and associated lavas from the North Tonga trench; TH, U and PB systematics of boninitic series volcanic rocks from Chicha-Jima, Bonin Islands, Japan; magnesian-andesites from Mexico, Chile and the Aleutian Islands - implications for magmatism associated with ridge trench collision.

Reviews

I strongly recommend Boninites as a source book for petrologists with active research interest in island arcs and ophioloites, particularly those researchers who enjoy plate-tectonic petrogenetic theorizing. Geological research libraries should certainly acquire the book. Boninites is very clearly laid out and printed, illustrations are consistently of high quality, chapters are individually referenced and there is a comprehensive index. - Mineralogical Magazine
