These new and very detailed maps provide a complete and integrated Phanerozoic story of palaeogeography. They illustrate the development of all the major mountain-building orogenies. Old lands, seas, ice caps, volcanic regions, reefs, and coal beds are highlighted on the maps, as well as faunal and floral provinces. Many other original diagrams show sections from the Earth's core, through the mantle, and up to the lithosphere, and how Large Igneous Provinces are generated, helping to understand how plates have appeared, moved, and vanished through time. Supplementary resources are available online, making this an invaluable reference for researchers, graduate students, professional geoscientists and anyone interested in the geological history of the Earth. * Summarises and expands on the authors' joint work over the past 17 years * Looks at the subject in a new integrated way, allowing readers to understand Earth history in a new light * Shows how faunas and floras have evolved, giving biologists a better time dimension * Non-technical language makes this ideal for all Earth, life and environmental scientists TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface Acknowledgments 1.
