"...a long-awaited textbook on structural geology... This book truly demonstrates the applicability of structural geology to everyday academic and industrial tasks.
This book will be an essential textbook and will be used immediately in my lectures."
- Professor Bruce Trudgill of the Colorado School of Mines

"If you only buy one textbook on structural geology, this is it.
This book is both theoretical and practical… …with excellent illustrations and thought-provoking examples.”
- Professor Rob Butler, University of Aberdeen
