The Geology of China (Oxford Monographs on Geology and Geophysics)

By Zunyi Yang

The first published account in forty years, this up-to-date survey of the geology of China, written by three prominent Chinese scientists, makes available to the West a vast body of information hitherto difficult to obtain, including data gleaned from many papers and unpublished reports produced in China since 1949. The core of the book is a fourteen-chapter survey of the geological history of China, from the Archaean to the Quaternary. The book also features a consideration of igneous and metamorphic rock, and concludes with a description of the geotectonics of China. This landmark volume will be an integral part of all library collections in geology.
