Dr. Michel Demange has devoted his career to regional geology and tectonics of metamorphic and magmatic terranes and to ore deposits. Graduated from the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines de Paris and holding a Docteur-es-Sciences from the University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris VI, he has been active in a rich variety of geological projects and investigations around the world. In combination with his teaching and research activities at the Ecole des Mines in Paris, France, he headed various research studies. This book benefits from the great experience in field studies, research and teaching and the wealth of data and images accumulated during his career. This book and its companion volume are both available in French from the Presses de l’Ecole des Mines, Paris.
