Granites

The anticipated audience is expected to be broad-based, appealing to both an academic and general science readership. The book will be a valuable reference work for advanced undergraduate Earth Science courses in igneous geology, mineralogy and geochemistry and economic/ore geology. The authors, translator and publishers are to be congratulated on producing a welcome, authoritative and insightful contribution to the literature on granite. A recommended (and affordable) read! * GeoScientist *
... a welcome addition to the English-language literature on geology. * CHOICE *
This book is a welcome addition to the literature on granitic rocks. The authors have done a great job integrating data from a wide variety of sources to build a comprehensive and timely account of granitic magmatism. It provides valuable reading for those interested not just in granites but igneous geology more broadly * Professor Nick Petford, University of Northampton *
A well-illustrated textbook, which explores the world of granitic rocks in a multidisciplinary way. Written for a wide readership, it covers a broad range of topics, from the genesis and emplacement of granites to their role in the growth and evolution of the continental crust, and their economic importance as a source for mineral ores * Pierre Barbey, CRPG-CNRS *
The book has much to commend it, but is particularly useful in drawing attention to some of the modern techniques used in the study of granites. * Carl R. Anhaeusser *
