Популярная палеогеография

Автор рассказывает о достижениях палеогеографии — науки, изучающей физико-географические условия минувших геологических эпох. История Земли и жизни на ней, от самого образования планеты до современности; дрейф материков и новая глобальная тектоника; процессы горообразования и климат прошлых эпох — вот только некоторые из тем, которым посвящена эта увлекательная книга.
