Articles primarily contain  information about the stratigraphy, structure, tectonics and natural  resources of each country, as well as a history of geological  exploration and other issues unique to each country. \u003cbr\u003e  Additional articles cover international subjects such as Europe, Asia,  the Alps, Caucasus, Himalayas and Tien Shan mountains. Many articles  are new syntheses, e.g. those on Iceland, Burma and the Philippines;  some are first-time descriptions in English, e.g. those on Estonia,  Moldova, Bosnia and Turkmenistan; others are published for the first  time ever in any language e.g. those articles on Italy, Korea and  Vietnam. Each entry is typically written by a native geologist or a  geologist with extensive experience in the region, and entries include  representative figures illustrating main geologic features and a  selected bibliography of relevant publications generally accessible in  libraries. \u003cbr\u003e  Articles are written assuming some general geological background. The  Encyclopedia will serve as a valuable source book for libraries, and  will be a key reference for academic and professional personnel in  industrial exploration firms and governmental agencies, as well as for  university students.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eProfessor \u003cem\u003eRhodes W.
