"Crustal growth along the northwestern margin of the Indian peninsular shield evolved through successive crust building processes starting from the early proterozoic time. Geological evolution of this part of the globe has a big significance from the view that it imbibes important sedimentary depositional basins with hydrocarbon occurrences and potential ground water reservoirs. The book "Geological Evolution of the Northwestern India" includes a large number of papers on different aspects of the subject.

"A galaxy of eminant scientists from different research organizations and universities have contributed papers on a wide spectrum of subjects. The book will provide advance and updated information to readers who wish to know more and more about this part of the land. As a reference book it would help researchers and academicians associated with earth science and other related subjects like, soil science, hydrogeology, geomorphology, environment, desertification, mineral resources, petrolium geology, palaeontology and palaeobotany etc.

"The book will prove to be quite useful for students, researchers, scientists and academicians." (jacket)

  • A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition. 

    I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.
