This volume honours the career of Brian F. Windley, who has been hugely influential in helping to achieve our current understanding of the evolution
of the continental crust, and who has inspired many students and scientists to pursue studies on the evolution of the continents. Brian has studied
processes of continental formation and evolution on most continents and of all ages, and has educated and inspired two generations of geologists to
undertake careers in studies of continental evolution.
The book is organized into six sections, including: oceanic and island arc systems and continental growth; tectonics of accretionary orogens and continental growth; growth and stabilization of continental crust; collisions and intraplate processes; Precambrian tectonics and the birth of continents; and active tectonics and geomorphology of continental collision and growth zones.
