The objective of the book is to provide an updated synthesis of the evolution of the
Alpine fold belt hitherto not available in English. The overall concept is to build
on classical Alpine geological studies made since the start of the 19th century by
integrating this work with modern results obtained systematically on mid ocean ridges
and passive margins worldwide over the past 50 years using new marine geological and
geophysical technologies. The book thus provides an integrated overview of the evolution
of the Alps from rift to passive margin to the present fold belt over a time span
of 300my. * an integrated multidisciplinary synthesis of the evolution of the Alps
from rift to passive margin to foldbelt. * 175 figures, structural maps and cross
sections. * an index of localities referred to in the fext and figures. * a brief
summary of the history and development of ideas concerning the evolution of fold belts
and passive margins since the 19th century. * provides basis for further enquire and
research * provides wider context relevant to marine and oil industry geoscientists
