Reviews

'… this is an outstanding major new contribution to the geology of the Lewisian that will stand the test of time and will be of use to anyone interested in the Lewisian, or Precambrian geology in general, and in the development of ideas in structural and metamorphic geology and geochronology. Graham Park is to be congratulated on producing a work of the highest academic standard that will remain a key reference and is a tribute to his life’s work. I recommend it wholeheartedly, it has been a pleasure to read it, and I will doubtless re-read it several times over.' The Edinburgh Geologist
