Book Description
Geotectonics has a special place among the geological dis ciplines. In addition to ideas based on firmly established facts that constitute lasting scientific values, geotectonics, as a generalizing branch of geology, embraces broad con structions that link the planet's deep interior with its sur face and are largely of a hypothetical character. The inter pretation of the most general matters of the structure and evolution of the globe varies not only from one generation of geologists to another, but even within one generation. The interpretation depends not only, and not so much, on the state of geological knowledge, as on the progress of the related sciences of geophysics and geochemistry. In trying to discover the deep-lying causes of tectonic processes, geotectonics has to unite the results of all the Earth sci ences, converting itself to some extent from a purely geologi cal science into a general physical geographic or geonomic science. The fluidity of the general ideas and the need for joint consideration of the geological, geophysical, and geochemi cal data to substantiate these ideas are the main difficulties facing the author of a textbook on geotectonics. There is undoubtedly, however, a need for a manual of this kind, particularly now when the literature on the various problems of geotectonics has grown so great and so varied in content that it is very difficult for the experienced researcher, let alone the student, to find his way.

Book Description
Translated from Russian, this text looks at the development of the earth's crust in the Palaeozoic period and starts from the Vendian to the Late Cambrian period. Moving on to include Ordovician to the mature stage of Caledonian and initial stage of development of Hercynian mobile belts; Silurian-Early Devonian. The completion of development of the Caledonian and early, mature and end stages of the Hercynian mobile belts; the birth of Cimmerian mobile belts and ending with the Palaeozoic.

Book Description
Examines the structural evolution of the Earth's crust from the Triassic period to the present. The book describes the patterns of distribution, and the composition and accumulation conditions of formations in the various geological periods in all the continents and oceans.

Book Description
Precambrian Geotectonics in the Himalaya provides a deep overview on geology and tectonics of the Precambrian domains of the Himalaya. Authored by an expert with over five decades of work in Precambrian Himalaya, the book studies 'Window' zones to provide a scope for understanding Precambrian deformation effects. The book specifically covers the holistic Precambrian geotectonic of the terrain and revises the subduction-back thrusting model of the Cenozoic evolution. Considering Precambrian regional events are not clearly recognised or visualised in many sectors due to overlapping crystallines, this book details a Precambrian geotectonic framework of the terrain on which the Himalayan event evolved. Precambrian Geotectonics in the Himalaya is a necessary reference for Earth scientists, exploration and hazard management scientists, professors (and students) who carry out research what requires a comprehensive picture of the Precambrian Himalaya and in totality with the adjacent peninsula. - Features comprehensive data gathered from decades of research on the Himalaya - Includes numerous detailed case studies that allow readers to comprehensively consider the data presented - Describes the Precambrian tectonostratigraphic history of the Himalayan terrain

Book Description
The book is the research results of some tectonic geologists in China in recent years. A total of eight articles in this field are collected in this book. This collection investigates the four major problems: (1) The architectonic characteristics in China and the principle of development; there are three different viewpoints on this subject: 'The theory of the interior lowland, ' 'the theory of mosaics, ' and 'the theory of inherited and superimposed structures'; (2) The pre-Cambrian architectonic problems of the eastern part of China, with the emphasis upon the characteristics of tectonic changes during the early Archeozoic Era; (3) Architectonics of the Mesozoic-Cenozoic oil-bearing basins in China; and (4) Architectonic problems in the Southeastern region of china. This book is suitable as a reference for research workers in geology, geotectonics and petroleum geology, and related instructors. (Author).

Book Description
"Oceanian ceramic cultures making earthenware pottery spread during the past 3500 years through a dozen major island groups spanning 6000 km of the tropical Pacific Ocean from western Micronesia to western Polynesia. Island potters mixed sand as temper into clay bodies during ceramic manufacture. The nature of island sands is governed by the geotectonics of hotspot chains, island arcs, subduction zones, backarc basins, and remnant arcs as well as by sedimentology. Because small islands with bedrock exposures of restricted character are virtual point sources of sand, many tempers are diagnostic of specific islands. Petrographic study of temper sands in thin section allows distinction between indigenous pottery and exotic pottery transported from elsewhere. Study of 2223 prehistoric Oceanian potsherds from 130 islands and island clusters indicates the nature of Oceanian temper types and documents 105 cases of interisland transport of ceramics over distances typically
