Product Description
Tectonics is the first of its kind - a complete, scholarly, readable text devoted exclusively to the field of tectonics. Following from the authors' best-selling Structural Geology - which encompasses processes from the microscopic to the regional levels - Tectonics examines structures from the regional to the global, and even the planetary levels. Written by two widely respected experts in the field, with spectacular artwork and photography, it is the definitive upper-level text for courses in tectonics. "This book provides a well-organised, clearly written introduction to the large-scale processes of deformation of the earth's crust, from plate tectonics to the structure of mountain belts and sedimentary basins." The Times Higher Education Supplement

A great book! It is written at the 1st year graduate student level. The authors think you are smart, are willing to work to understand, but feel they need to cover it all from ground zero. A great proposition if that is your state. Heavily diagrammed but unafraid to get down to some of the (simple) physics. (What really moves those plates anyway?) Just scanning and focusing down on what interests will teach you something new every time. The result is giving you a new set of eyes. Nevada (the great basin) never looked so interesting.
