Structural Geology
by Haakon Fossen · Cambridge University Press
Fossen's Cambridge textbook on rock deformation: stress and strain, folds, faults, shear zones, fabrics, and the mechanics behind them. Working through it, a reader learns to describe deformed rocks quantitatively and reconstruct the tectonic history recorded in field structures.
