Summary:

Orogenic andesites have long intrigued scientists because of their remarkable compositional similarities to the continental crust. In three sections, this book provides an overview of andesite genesis at convergent margins that focuses on the slab-mantle interaction, crustal processing and andesite evolution through the life of volcanic arcs. Without favouring a particular view, the books aims to engender cross-fertilisation and discussion that will smooth the pathway towards a holistic communal model of andesite petrogenesis and its role within the broader geochemical cycles of the Earth.
