Young fault zones related to the India–Asia collision and/or the subduction of oceanic crust at the east Asian margin are superimposed on a complex mosaic of older structures, which record the Phanerozoic assembly of a large part of Eurasia. This book contains 17 papers on many aspects of this evolution, sensibly grouped into four sections by time.
