An enticing quantity providing the papers gathered for the Festschrift Paradoxes in sleek Geology in honor of Professor Ken Jinghwa Hsu at the party of his seventieth birthday.Paradox, as outlined in a dictionary, is an announcement opposite to accredited opinion. extensive dialogue of paradoxes is fruitful for the development of technology commonly, and geosciences specifically, has been amply proven by means of Professor Hsu all through his extraordinary profession. not just has he propelled the geoscience group ahead together with his arguable statements, a couple of his former scholars, who're at the moment in key positions at universities and in undefined, are influencing in an identical open minded means the current day pondering. The huge scope this reasoning encompasses is tested via the contributions to this publication, delineating paradoxes and difficulties within the fields of tectonics, simple and utilized geosciences, petrology, paleoceanography, paleoclimatology and paleogeography, kinematics and modelling
