Precambrian Geology: The Dynamic Evolution of the Continental Crust

By Alan M. Goodwin

The aim of this book is to provide a up-to-date statement on the Earth's Precambrian crust. It uses geographic and tectonic location, lithostratigraphy, geochronology, and petrogenesis as a basis for considering Precambrian coastal evolution - including the role of plate tectonics. Detailed consideration is given to the endogenic and exogenic processes which formed the continental crust, and also to its subsequent secular evolution across Precambrian time.
