Abstract
We will preface the account of the shield-areas of each continent with a short summary of the make-up of the continent as a whole, illustrated by a diagrammatic map for reference in later parts of the book. Accordingly, Fig. 2.1 shows the principal structural units of Europe in which the main events in the history of the continent are recorded.
