Geology of Southwest Gondwana

“This book offers a treasure trove of comprehensive review papers and new material of high scientific standard covering all parts of Southwest Gondwana. The new information and tectonic models presented across the book provide a compelling view of the geological history of the blocks that make up Southwest Gondwana, both in Africa and South America, and their assembly into the sub-supercontinent. This is an essential resource for all researchers working on Gondwana.” (Bert De Waele, Journal of South American Earth Sciences, Vol. 93, August, 2019)“This book is a thorough, robust and well-illustrated contribution on the ‘United Plates of Southwest Gondwana’ of high scientific standard that includes several new datasets and maps. This is a must read for all researchers, who carry out projects in this region.” (Bernd Lammerer, Gondwana Research, 2018)
