In the context of paucity of literature on Historical Geology the book entitled "Fundamentals of Historical Geology and Stratigraphy of India" by Dr. Ravindra Kumar stands as one of utmost value for the students and teachers of Geology both at graduate and postgraduate level. It is equally important as a general handbook for the teachers. The book deals with certain significant topics for the undergraduate and postgraduate level of geological education at the Indian universities. What made the book a distinct one is the way Dr. Kumar presents the controversial facets of the Indian geology like the Precambrian History of India and the Hydraheaded Boundary Problems. The author's excellent way of tackling the topics is sure to make the title a standard textbook for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
