Geology of the Himalayas
AUGUST0 GANSSER
The aim of this series on Regional Geology is to add to the available geological literature concise descriptions of large structural units, independent of national boundaries.
It is important that the personal opinion of an author, formed by his work and experience in the structural unit he describes, comes clearly to the attention of the reader. Theorizing about the geological history of a particular kind of structure too often does not take into account the great diversity of the observed phenomena, and then generalizes in an
unwarranted way. We aim to give a better basis to these general concepts and thereby stimulate a deeper understanding of the relations between different kinds of structures.
Some of the books describe classical territory where new work has brought new conceptions, others are concerned with hitherto relatively unknown regions, but always the surveys are presented from a fresh aspect.
