Full Title: The Cimmeride Orogenic System and the Tectonics of Eurasia

Author: A.M. Celâl Sengör

The author's interest in Tethyan problems goes back more than a decade, when he saw a gap in the regional tectonic literature of Eurasia. What was lacking, he felt, was a synthetic overview of the early history of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain ranges and its expected implications for the "Tethyan paradox," first brought into focus by Alan Smith. This work includes a history of the Tethys concept, a regional review, and an orogenic history of the Cimmerides.
