Description
The aim of this book is to develop an integrated and balanced picture of today's knowledge of the continental crust. In this context,
geophysical arguments dominate throughout the book; whenever possible, the geophysical parameters are related to geological knowledge
and reasoning. Relatively little space is given to detailed mathematical expositions and then only to those topics for which it seemed
to be unavoidable.
Audience
This book is written for graduate students and researchers in the Earth's sciences.
