Capability of integrating the multitude of data from geologic and geophysical investigations in orogenic belts is essential to arriving at solutions to some of the great problems related to the development of mountain chains. The editors and authors seem to have had that capability and have compiled here a wealth of information, both in detailed text and accompanying diagrams and maps, all well prepared and presented. The 16 articles and 12 pocket plates present the regional geology and tectonics of the Appalachian orogen and comparisons with the Caledonides, Mauritanides, Alps, and the North American Cordillera; the application of mechanical principles to the solution of structural problems; and the utilization of reflection seismology, as well as data from aeromagnetic and gravity studies, to interpret large-scale problems in the tectonics of mountain chains.
