DESCRIPTION
This book have presented first a general geodynamic framework of the Himalayan and Karakoram belts as a whole, covering deformation, metamorphism, magmatism and updated radiometric ages of the Higher Himalayan rocks from Collision Zone and to the margin of the Asian plate in the Indian sector. The text is appreciably supported by many relevant figures and photographs. This is followed by excellent geological account along several traverses and thus the book is a useful field guide wherein one can see convincingly collision related features along some selected traverses. The book is indeed an indispensable guide to geoscientists who want to know this lofty Himalaya and its northern parts since birth.
