It is a pleasure to any author to enlarge the circle of his
readers. Naturally this is a pleasure to me. At the same time,
however, misgivings arise: whether these pages will con vey to the
circle of new readers the thoughts that excite the author. Science
is advancing rapidly in our day. It is already apparent that many
things in the book should have been stated differently. I have
tried to make additions to the English-language edition in such a
way that they do not require great alteration of the text. I ask my
new readers to remember that this book was written primarily for my
fellow countrymen and that, because of this, some chapters contain
descriptions of regions little known to you and information on the
USSR almost unknown from other publications. I hope that, despite
this, geologists who read the English-language edition will find
something of interest to themselves in it and that their labor will
not have been in vain. Yu. M. Sheinmann Institute of Phys ics of
the Earth Moscow v PREFACE The study of endogenetic processes has
long pushed us into investigation of ever deeper parts of the
earth. Not long ago all attention was focused on depths where ore
deposits appear, where metamorphic and igneous rocks, which later
become exposed at the surface, are formed, where granites
originate."
