Table of Contents1: What is a granite? 2: Origin of granitic magmas 3: Segregation of granitic melt 4: Genesis of hybrid granitoids: mingling and mixing 5: Transport of granitic magma 6: Emplacement and shape of granite plutons 7: Thermomechanical aspects in the country rocks around granite plutons 8: Crystallization of granitics magmas 9: Microstructures and fabrics of granites 10: Magnetic fabrics in granites 11: Zoning in granite plutons 12: Granites and plate tectonics 13: Precambrian granitic rocks 14: Granite metallogenyReviewsThis 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 This book is a welcome addition to the literature on granitic rocks.

Carl R. Anhaeusser Author InformationAnne Nédélec and Jean-Luc Bouchez are Professors in Earth Sciences at the University of Toulouse. Both are based at the Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées (Géosciences Environnement Toulouse). Anne is a petrologist, specialist of Precambrian Geology. Jean-Luc, a specialist in rock deformation, participated in the development of structural studies in magmatic rocks. Both have a broad experience in laboratory and field studies in Africa, Madagascar, Brazil, Iran, and France, among others.; Peter Bowden has been Professeur Invité in the Département de Géologie at Université de Saint Etienne since 1998. He was Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of African Earth Sciences from 1993 to 2001, and Senior Lecturer and co-ordinator for the BSc Geochemistry degree at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, from 1987 to 1998. He is a specialist in African Geology and an expert on A-type granites. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
