This book reviews current ideas explaining the formation of granite in terms of melting, segregation, ascent and emplacement. It introduces an alternative hypothesis that granites are endogenic in that they essentially form and remain at melting sites in the middle-upper crust under conditions of abnormally high heat flow.

This extensively revised and updated second edition includes the latest developments in the study of pyrometamorphism. The material covered has been derived from more than 60 new references, which are accompanied by more than 20 new illustrations.
