Structural Geology
The book, published by Cambridge University Press, is an excellent manual on the principles of structural geology. But before commenting on the text itself, I’d like to remark that the material quality of the book is superb. This book simply says “read me, read me more”. Published in an A4 (kind of) size hardback format and full colour glossy pages. Rich in illustrations, sharp photographies and analogues.
