Abstract
These two books, hereafter referred to as LASI 1 and LASI 2, are collections of articles published as an outcome of the 1st and 2nd LASI (LAccoliths and SIlls) International Workshops held in Freiberg, Germany (October 12–14, 2002) and the Isle of Skye, Scotland (April 1–3, 2006), respectively. As the editors state in the preface to the LASI1 volume, there had been no similar publication recorded since “Mechanism of igneous intrusion” (Geological Journal Special Issue 2, 1970, edited by G. Newall and N. Rast). It is extremely fortunate that the attention of igneous petrologists, structural geologists, and volcanologists was again focused on the shallow intrusive environment of magma emplacement after so long a gap. Judging from the content of the two books published over only a 4-year interval, following the two LASI workshops, it seems that there is now substantial interest in this research topic.
