Overview

Presents an English review of the tectonostratigraphic evolution of the various regional tectonic elements which comprise the central European origins. Political changes have permitted authors from all central European countries to contribute to this work, thus providing access to previously inavailable material. Each major tectonic element is described in terms of its stratigraphic, structural, igneous, metamorphic and economic evolution. Each section is referenced, thus proving an introduction to the geological complexity of the region. Introductory chapters provide the required regional geophysical and tectonic overviews.
