Editorial Review:
When first published, Structural Geology broke new ground by offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated survey of the evolution of the earth's outer layers, presented within the unifying context of structural and plate tectonics. Now this highly regarded text returns, in thoroughly updated new edition designed to show students how geologists interpret deformations in the earth's crust as clues to the processes that are continually recasting the planet.

loved it  2007-10-11
an excellent primer for the novice geologist. as well, there is a mass of information for even experts.
An excellent book for all levels 2004-01-12
This books has an excellent organization and concepts are well defined and concise. A general reference for any undergraduate, graduate or researcher and it should not be out of your general books.
Great if you're a researcher but not for beginners  2000-10-27
This book is WAY too much for beginning undergraduates. There are relatively few field/rock photographs and tons and tons of complex drawings of complex geometry of complex concepts. For a beginning American student, this book would surely make them turn-tail and flee as far away from structural geology as possible! Perhaps things are different in Mexico City.
A fundamental book for researchers and students in structure 2000-06-23
This is one of the best books in structural geology I ever read. It covers both the brittle and ductile fields, and also includes special chapters on microstructures and rheology that are not too detailed in similar books. Nice draws and pictures, together with important bibliographic references, help the reader to understand the explanations. One thing I found very useful are the Boxes, paragraphs inside the normal chapters, where the authors treat the mathematics applied to structural geology, that is somewhat hard to understand in other books. Only negative aspect I found: there is not a paperback version available. I found the book very useful as student, during the structural geology course I've taken in both undergraduate and graduate level, but also as quick reference manual for reserach.
