This is an exceptional product that provides a new paradigm of understanding to Cordilleran geology. This hardcover volume includes18 papers and an index, as well as two large-format folded plates of critical figures and a CD-ROM. The CD provides high- and low-resolution PDFs of each of the papers, as well as data repositories that accompany most of the papers and attest to the considerable amount of new data contained within. Additionally, the CD contains large PDFs of more than 30 geologic maps published by the different government agencies that employ the authors.

Geographically, the papers are divisible into six contributions on Yukon and northernmost British Columbia, six on southeastern British Columbia, and other papers with regional compilations. A single paper is dedicated to Alaska. This publication is the result of a five-year cooperative geo-science program, the Ancient Pacific Margin National Mapping Program, that has brought together geologists from the Yukon Geological Survey, the British Columbia Geological Survey, the Geological Survey of Canada, and the U.S. Geological Survey with university researchers, students, and industry personnel.
