If anyone is into the physics and formulae of annealing and want's a full on breakdown.. I recommend Bandhu Scott Dunhams' book, Contemporary Lampworking..One of the best all around lampworking books out there IMO. It has a similar table in the annealing chapter to the one Mark posted but much more detailed.
Complex formulae, but the process itself is very simple and straightforward provided that you know the threshold temps and basic soak times. Colors and striking are where it gets to be more of a tricky thing that each of us needs to experiment with individually due to the many variables such as kilns, glass chemistry, and the way that you actually work the glass prior to putting it into the kiln.
