Anyone studying the geology and tectonics of China and who is not
able to read Chinese will need to have a copy of this book:
Ceotectonic Evolution of China and a companion copy of the Tectonic
Map of China, scale 1:4000,000. Professor Huang Jiqing and his
collaborators from the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of
Geological Sciences have provided the English-speaking earth
scientists with an extremely valuable tool that can be used towards
understanding the geo b;;y of China. The introductory chapter is
necessary to read prior to effective use of the material discussed
in other chapters as it clearly presents the philosophy of this
school of tectonics. The collaborators of the book acknowledge the
important changes have been brough about by the plate tectonics
theory but do not fully incorporate these ideas into their
discussion. The book and map are testimony to the tremendous amount
of geologic work accomplished by Chinese geologists in the past
fourty years. As our Chinese collea gues begin to publish more
English summaries such as this, it will become apparent to the rest
of the world the vast amount of geologic mapping along with
supportive stratigraphy and geophysics that has already been
accomplished. Nearly all major non Chinese tracts on tectonic
synthesis of the world treat China in only a cursory fashio)1
because so little is known of the area. With this text and map,
future world tectonic synthesis can no longer afford to leave China
out of the picture."
