One of the oldest debates in the earth sciences, the origin of granites is now known to be a complex multifactorial problem in which superficially similar granites may be generated by rather different processes. Granites are increasingly providing important tectonomagmatic constraints and are also the primary sources of many economic resources.

The Fourth Hutton Symposium on the Origin of Granites and Related Rocks addressed all the major current research themes and this volume contains the major invited papers. Topics include the fertility of sources, aspects of magma mixing involving silicic and more basaltic end-members, magma transfer, mechanisms of emplacement, pluton crystallization, and hydrothermal mineralization. Papers range from micro-scale to regional scale, and from laboratory-based to field-based. Plutons and batholiths from most continents are represented. This collection of papers provides an up-to-date review of the subject.
