| NOTA |
(★)(This book presents a panoramic view of the geology of the Japanese islands, which like many regions of the circum-Pacific belt have an extremely complex and controversial geological history. It describes the formation and geologic structure of the archipelago and its physical characteristics, and outlines chronologically its stratigraphy, igneous activity, metamorphism, and paleogeography.／ Since the publication of this volume´s predecessor in 1963 (Geology of Japan [Takai, Matsumoto, and Toriyama, eds.], University of Tokyo Press), the revolution in earth sciences has changed the way the earth´s geology is interpreted. Plate tectonic theory, radiometric dating and chronology, microfossil biostratigraphy, research in submarine geology, paleomagnetic studies, and paleoenvironmental analysis have contributed to a reconsideration of the geology of the Japanese island arc region. This volume, which is a completely revised second edition, reports on the application of the latest techniques, devoting separate chapters to field studies and interpretation. Index maps, correlation charts, and many other tables and figures are appended to each chapter.／ ◆Toshio Kimura, Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo／Itaru Hayami, Professor of the University of Tokyo／Shizuo Yoshida, Associate Professor of the University of Tokyo／ ▼CONTENTS／ ●CHAPTER 1.GENERAL REMARKS／Outline of the Geological History and the Structural Division of Japan／Characteristics of the Geology of Japan／ ●CHAPTER 2.STRATIGRAPHY, IGNEOUS ACTIVITY AND METAMORPHISM IN JAPAN／Before the Silurian／The Silurian and Devonian／The Carboniferous／The Permian Period／The Triassic／The Jurassic／The Cretaceous／The Paleogene／The Neogene／The Quaternary／ ●CHAPTER 3.THE FORMATION AND GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF JAPAN／History of Earth Movements in Japan／Past and Present Island Arcs in Japan／) |
