This book, in which the term granite is taken in its broadest
sense, collates the most innovative contributions that were
presented at the EUG 8 Meeting, X12 Symposium, held in Strasbourg
during April 1995. It covers a broad range of topics related to the
physical aspects of granite magmatism, which are largely
under-represented in comparison with chemical-oriented approaches.
Nineteen papers span the range from physical properties of granitic
material to several pluton case studies. The first part, Melt and
Magmas: Properties and Segregation', deals mainly with the physical
properties and segregation of melts and magmas, including
laboratory and field data. The second part, Fabrics in Granites',
develops some lively aspects of present-day granite geology, such
as magmatic fabrics at all scales, and analogue and numerical
experiments aimed at modelling magmatic fabrics. The third part,
Emplacement of Granite Plutons: Case Studies', begins with a
general consideration of syntectonic granites, includes a review of
the shape of plutons as inferred from combined fabric and gravity
data, and comprises some spectacular examples of plutons emplaced
along shear zones, in Spain, Sierra Nevada -California- (see the
cover page), Nigeria, and Brazil, or emplaced along subduction
zones, in Japan. Granite is the most abundant rock on the
continental crust, and this unique text is devoted entirely to the
understanding of its origins and emplacement by studying its
internal structures. The book is particularly well-illustrated, and
almost all the illustrations are original. It will serve as an
invaluable reference for geologists, petrologists, geophysicists
interested in the development of thecontinental crust and, more
generally, for earth scientists.
