Overview

Granites constitute most of the continental crust on which we live, and have been the subject of investigation and controversy since geology began. It would be fair to say that the study of granites has fuelled every major advance in the Earth Sciences, as they are so central to our understanding of the formation and evolution of planet Earth. This new book has been written by a geologist who has studied granites for over 50 years. It represents a balanced view of current knowledge of granites, and provides insight into where future problem-solving efforts should be concentrated. This book should be of interest to researchers and advanced students in geology, particularly those studying igneous petrology, plate tectonics, and crustal evolution.
