Abstract
IN this new “Regional Geology of the Earth”, of which two parts are noticed here, there is to be presented a summary of the geological history of the earth's surface in which emphasis is placed more on tectonic and magmatic events than on details of stratigraphy. The division into regions for description is based upon tectonic history but, at the cost of some overlapping, complete geological accounts are to be given of each region. The work is intended for the trained geologist, and attention is therefore to be directed as much to unsolved problems as to criticism of materials already assembled.
