Granites are emblematic rocks developed from a magma that crystallized in the Earth’s crust. They eventually outcrop at the top of each continent.

This publication - translated, edited, and up-to-date from the initial French edition Petrologie des Granites released by Vuibert in 2011 - provides modern demonstration of granitic rocks, or granites, from magma genesis with their emplacement in to the crust and their crystallization. Mineralogical, petrological, physical, and economical elements are created in a succession of 14 chapters.

Granites are believed within their geological spatial and temporal framework, in relation with Plate Tectonics and Earth Background, and assisted by a lot of top quality illustrations.
Unique ‘info boxes’ talk about topics for those desperate to deepen their understanding of the topic. Also included is certainly a glossary, a thorough bibliography, along with descriptions of modern methods.
