Geology of the Higher Central Himalaya

This major review contains important new information on an area that is of considerable interests to geologists: the higher central Himalaya. Coverage includes field observations, route maps, fossil finds, stratigraphic columns, geochemical age determinations, chemical rock analyses, and recently discovered mineral deposits. Its focus on parts of the Himilayas that are not accessible to non-Indians lends it added significance, as well as the dearth of recent works on this area: the classic book by Heim and Gansser is almost 50 years old. Includes numerous illustrations.
