This first Congress to be held in the United States attracted more than 900geologists from 20countries, including for the first time official representatives of the People's Republic of China. Some highlights of this first of five volumes are a special lecture on the Carboniferous of China by Yang Shihpu, Wuhan College of Geology, China; a concise summary of the Tectonic evolution of the Iberian massif by Manuel Julivert, University of Barcelona, Spain; a short history of the founding of the Carboniferous System by W. H. C. Ramsbottom, Institute of Geological Sciences, Great Britain; an intensive look at world energy prospects for the next two decades by Philip H. Abelson, editor of Science; an outline of the geology of the Spanish Carboniferous coalfields by A. Garcia-Loygorri, Institute of Geology and Mining, Spain; and a novel treatment of detailed paleobotanical comparisons between west European coal basins and the Donetz Basin, USSR, by O. P. Fissunenko, Institute Pedagogique, Voroshilovgrad, USSR, and J. P. Leveine, Lille University, France.

Nearly 100 geologists combine to produce approximately 60 articles in this volume. The essays fall under the general headings of "Carboniferous--General," "Devonian-Mississippian Boundary," "Mississippian--General," "Mississippian-Pennsylvanian--Boundary," "Pennsylvanian--General," "Pennsylvanian -Permian Boundary," and "Permian--General." A sampling of the essays in this volume include "Miospore Zonation of the Carboniferous" by Bernard Owens; "Carboniferous Small Foraminifers and Stratigraphy" by B. L. Mamet; "Devonian-Lower Carboniferous Boundary in Japan" by M. Minato, M. Kato, S. Haga, and H. Takeda; "Mississippian Stratotype--An Overview" by Thomas L. Thompson; "Conodont Succession in the Mississippian of South Canada" by Sonny Baxter and Peter H. von Bitter; "The Mississippian Boundary in North America" by Patrick K. Sutherland and Walter L. Manger; and "Palynological Delineation of the Mississippian-Pennsylvanian Unconformity in West-Central Pennsylvania" by B. R. Wilson, A. Traverse, and I. G. Williams.

Non-mammalian synapsids were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates from the Late Carboniferous to the Middle Triassic and play a key role in understanding the origin and evolution of mammals. Despite these facts and the outstanding fossil record of the group, early synapsids remain obscure. This book showcases the full breadth of contemporary research on non-mammalian synapsids, ranging from taxonomy and phylogenetics to functional morphology, biogeography, paleoecology, and patterns of diversity. It also underscores the importance and potential of studying non-mammalian synapsid paleobiology in its own right, not just in the context of mammalian evolution.

Landscapes viewed from afar have a timeless quality that is soothing to the human spirit. Yet a tranquil wilderness scene is but a snapshot in the steady stream of surficial change. Wind, water and human activities reshape the landscape by means of gradual to catastrophic and usually irreversible events. Much of this change destroys past landscapes, but at some times and places, landscapes are buried in the rock record. This work is dedicated to the discovery of past landscapes and their life through the fossil record of soils. A long history of surficial changes extending back almost to the origin of our planet can be deciphered from the study of these buried soils, or paleosols. Some rudiments of this history, and our place in it, are outlined in a final section of this book. But first it is necessary to learn something of the language of soils, of what happens to them when buried in the rock record and which of the forces of nature can be confidently reconstructed from their remains. Much of this preliminary material is borrowed from soil science, but throughout emphasis is laid on features that provide most reliable evidence of landscapes during the distant geological past. This book has evolved primarily as a text for senior level university courses in paleopedology: the study of fossil soils.
