       The book presents data obtained in the course of a comprehensive geological, petrological, and isotope geochemical research of the rocks and minerals from the enderbite-granulite complex of the Pulozero - Polnek-Tundra region (Central-Kola block) to provide a basis for reconstructing the sequence of endogenous processes, P-T conditions, and evolutional duration of the enderbite-granulite complex in the interval of 2.72 - 1.81 Ga. The following three stages of metamorphism have been established in the Kola Group gneisses: I - early granulitic (2.72 Ga); II - superimposed amphibolitic (2.57 Ga); III - retrograde low-temperature amphibolitic (2.54 Ga). The early granulitic (I) and superimposed amphibolitic (II) metamorphic events in the Kola Group gneisses are separated by the enderbite formation (2.66 Ga) and later transformation of the enderbites into cummingtonite-biotite orthogneisses (2.64 Ga). Ultrametamorphism in the Kola Group gneisses was accompanied by injections of anatectic veins of microcline-plagioclase granite with garnet and sillimanite (2.55 Ga). The tectonomagmatic activity in this region culminated by the injection of veined leucogranites (ca. 2.50 Ga) that cut the Kola Group gneisses, enderbites, and cummingtonite-biotite orthogneisses. The Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr research data show that the enderbite-granulite complex was affected by Palaeoproterozoic events that disturbed the isotope systems ca. 2.50 and 1.81 billion years ago.
       For specialists in geology, petrology and isotope-geochronology, as well as high school students of the geological faculties.
