PREFACE
I am not an expert on Himalayan leucogranites, although I have followed their coverage in the literature for more than 40 years and have studied granites and rhyolites more generally for over 50 years (cf. Fig. 1). Coming from this perspective, I aim—in this Elements Perspective—to provide a felsic magma context for pondering leucogranites in general and Himalayan leucogranites in particular.
