Description

Granites are emblematic rocks developed from a magma that crystallized in the Earth's crust.

They ultimately outcrop at the surface of every continent.

This book offers a modern presentation of granitic rocks.

It considers granites in their geological spatial and temporal frame, and in relation to plate tectonics and Earth history. The book - translated, edited, and updated from the original French edition Pétrologie des Granites published by Vuibert in 2011 - gives a modern presentation of granitic rocks, or granites, from magma genesis to their emplacement into the crust and their crystallization.

Mineralogical, petrological, physical, and economical aspects are explored and developed in a succession.

The text is supported throughout by a large number of illustrations, descriptions of modern techniques, and additional boxes holding further discussions for those wishing to deepen their knowledge of the subject.
