Tectonics

Tectonics is the first of its kind - a complete, scholarly, readable text devoted exclusively to the field of tectonics. Following from the authors' best-selling Structural Geology - which encompasses processes from the microscopic to the regional levels - Tectonics examines structures from the regional to the global, and even the planetary levels. Written by two widely respected experts in the field, with spectacular artwork and photography, it is the definitive upper-level text for courses in tectonics. This book provides a well-organised, clearly written introduction to the large-scale processes of deformation of the earth's crust, from plate tectonics to the structure of mountain belts and sedimentary basins.
