註釋

This book examines the process of mountain building on a range of scales from thin sections to entire mountain ranges. It draws on a wide range of techniques for interpreting the mechanical and thermal histories of deformed rocks. It illustrates orogenic processes using examples from Scotland and the Alps to the Himalaya and Tibet. It asks the question "In the case of orogenic belts, is the present really the key to the past?"
