使用从寒武纪到现在的全彩色古地理地图，这本跨学科卷解释了板块运动和表面火山作用如何与地球地幔的过程以及与气候变化和地球生物群的演化联系在一起。这些新的和非常详细的地图提供了一个完整和完整的古地理显生界故事。它们说明了所有主要造山造山运动的发展。地图上突出显示了古老的陆地、海洋、冰盖、火山区、珊瑚礁和煤层层，以及动物和植物省。许多其他原始图表显示了从地核、地幔到岩石圈的部分，以及如何产生巨大的火成岩省，有助于了解板块是如何随着时间的推移出现、移动和消失的。补充资源可在网上获得，这使它成为研究人员、研究生、专业地球科学家和任何对地球地质史感兴趣的人的宝贵参考。
Using full-colour palaeogeographical maps from the Cambrian to the present, this interdisciplinary volume explains how plate motions and surface volcanism are linked to processes in the Earth's mantle, and to climate change and the evolution of the Earth's biota. These new and very detailed maps provide a complete and integrated Phanerozoic story of palaeogeography. They illustrate the development of all the major mountain-building orogenies. Old lands, seas, ice caps, volcanic regions, reefs, and coal beds are highlighted on the maps, as well as faunal and floral provinces. Many other original diagrams show sections from the Earth's core, through the mantle, and up to the lithosphere, and how Large Igneous Provinces are generated, helping to understand how plates have appeared, moved, and vanished through time. Supplementary resources are available online, making this an invaluable reference for researchers, graduate students, professional geoscientists and anyone interested in the geological history of the Earth.
