Know about the book -

Geology of the Appalachian—Caledonian Orogen in Canada and Greenland is written by Harold Williams and published by Geological Society of America. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0813754518 (ISBN 10) and 9780813754512 (ISBN 13).

This volume focuses on the Canadian Appalachian region. The chapter on the East Greenland Caledonides stands alone and there is no attempt to integrate the geological accounts of the two far removed regions. Rocks of the Canadian Appalachian region are described under four broad temporal divisions: lower Paleozoic and older, middle Paleozoic, upper Paleozoic, and Mesozoic. The rocks of these temporal divisions define geographic zones, belts, basins, and graben, respectively. The area is of special interest because so many modern concepts of mountain building are based on Appalachian rocks & structures.
