Sinopsis
The origin of granite has for long fascinated geologists though serious debate on the topic may be said to date from a famous meeting of the Geological Society of France in 1847. My own introduction to the subject began exactly one hundred years later when, in an interview with Profes sor H. H. Read, I entered his study as an amateur fossil collector and left it as a committed granite petrologist - after just ten minutes! I can hardly aspire to convert my reader in so dramatic a way, yet this book is an attempt, however inadequate, to pass on the enthusiasm that I inherited, and which has been reinforced by innumerable discussions on the outcrop with granitologists of many nationalities and of many shades of opinion. Since the 1960s, interest in granites has been greatly stimulated by the thesis that granites image their source rocks in the inaccessible deep crust, and that their diversity is the result of varying global tectonic context. So great a body of new data and new ideas has accumulated that my attempt to review the whole field of granite studies must carry with it a possible charge of arrogance, especially as I have adopted the teaching device of presenting the material from a personal point of view with its thinly disguised prejudices.

Críticas
about the first edition:
`Without doubt, Wallace Pitcher is currently the granite specialist ... an essential book for deep-zone geologists, whether granitologists or not.'
Geotechnique
`... this excellent and very readable book by an acknowledged master of the craft. The book should be read by anybody interested in granites. It is notable for the breadth of its approach and valuable for presenting the summarized work of a geologist who has made a notable contribution over a lifetime of work.'
Journal of Petrology
`This book is a must for all those engaged in the study of granites, and igneous rocks in general, from undergraduates to professors. It is also an essential library addition. In summary, crucial reading for anyone interested in the origin of granite.'
Geological Magazine
Reseña del editor
The granitic rocks outcrop abundantly throughout the continents, often forming the cores of mountain chains, and their nature and origin has intrigued earth scientists for hundreds of years. Now that we know that granites for the most part are produced by melting in the deep crust, their appearance in the upper crust provides a way of sampling these otherwise inaccessible depths - not only to learn of the composition of this crustal understory but how it was constructed through time. There is still much to discover, especially concerning the physics and chemistry of the complicated processes of granite generation, and it is the purpose of this book to highlight the existing enigmas.
