Preface
In this book the author attempts to provide up-to-date information about the geochemistry, exotic mineralogy, petrology, and experimental studies on ultrapotassic feldspathoid-bearing mafic and ultramafic rocks, which are quite distinct from the rocks of basalt family. The parental liquids for this intriguing group of rocks bear definite signature of their deep mantle source. Modern developments in earth science show that carbonates, N2, O2, P, H2O, and K-ric
