Foreland Sedimantation In Himalayan Tectonic Regime : A Re-look at the Organic Process

Demy Quarto, many illustrations index., The book starts with a comprehensive and fascinating account of the Western Himalayan foreland basin, perhaps the first of its kind on any foreland basin, and ends with the origin of the orogenic system itself. Its wide spectrum data based is likely to appeal to a readership of diverse interests. It breaks fresh grounds on many aspects of Himalayan Geology with an in-depth analysis of the basin-fill material and the structure and tectonics of the foredeep and the fold belt. The book is an open invitation to Geoscientists of all calling to come out of the strait-jacket of plate Tectonics and explore other avenues for understanding the mountain building process.
