Das Antlitz Der Erde (The Face of the Earth), Volume 2, by Eduard Suess and Lukas Waagen, originally published in 1888, is a landmark work in the field of geology. This volume continues Suess's comprehensive exploration of the Earth's geological features, focusing on mountain building (orogeny), tectonic processes, and the structure of the Earth's crust. Written in German, this book offers detailed descriptions and analyses, reflecting the scientific understanding of the late 19th century.

Suess's work is renowned for its synthesis of diverse geological observations into a coherent global picture. Although some theories have been superseded by modern plate tectonics, 'Das Antlitz Der Erde' remains a valuable resource for understanding the history of geological thought and the foundations of modern Earth science. This volume provides essential insights into the development of geological concepts and the historical context of Earth science research.
