The structure of Western Europe (Pergamon international library of science, technology, engineering, and social studies)

After a brief account of the stratigraphy in each case, the author summarises the structure of the main tectonic units of Western Europe, the units being defined within the framework of Precambrian, Caledonian, Hercynian and Alpine structures. The work provides accounts of these structural units both for geological study in general and for field visits for advanced school level and research students. A useful complementary volume to'The Structure of the British Isles'(Anderson and Owen).
