• Sommario/riassunto: Granites are emblematic rocks developed from a magma that crystallized in the Earth's crust. They ultimately outcrop at the surface worldwide. This book, translated and updated by the authors from the original French edition 'Pétrologie des Granites' (2011) with the participation of P. Bowden, intends to be a modern and comprehensive presentation of granitic rocks from magma genesis to their crystallization at a higher level into the crust.
