Since the first edition was published in 1983, this highly-regarded
introductory textbook has been used by many generations of students
worldwide. It is specifically tailored to the requirements of first
or second year geology undergraduates. The third edition has been
extensively revised and updated to include many new sections and
over 50 new or redrawn illustrations. There are now over 220
illustrations, many incorporating a second colour to highlight
essential features. The format has been changed to enhance the
visual attractiveness of the book. The tripartite organization of
the first and second editions has been modified by combining the
purely descriptive or factual aspects of fault and fold structure
in the earlier chapters with a simple treatment of mechanisms,
leaving the more geometrically complex treatment until after the
relevant sections on stress and strain, as before. Some subjects
are introduced for the first time, e.g. inversion and orogen
collapse, and others have been extensively modified, e.g. the
chapter on gravity controlled structures now emphasises modern work
on salt tectonics. The last third of the book is devoted to the
wider context of geological structures and how they relate to plate
tectonics. The final two chapters have been considerably expanded
and give examples of various types of geological structures in
their plate tectonic settings in both modern and ancient orogenic
belts.
