Science

An academic earth-science textbook on orogeny (mountain building) that frames the development of plate tectonics as a continuation of the work of earlier tectonicians such as Suess, Argand, and Wegener. It synthesizes metamorphic petrology, seismology, and tectonics, reflecting the specialties of its three authors.
