* Uses familiar examples or analogies to explain difficult concepts,
* Emphasis on how structural geologists think about deformed rocks.
* Completely updated with increased emphasis and focus on: Displacement and Strain; Stess and Strength; and Fault Systems.
* Provides an all new Active Tectonics chapter which describes and demonstrate the ways in which major structures and systems of structures are in fact forming today in active tectonic settings.
* Presents active tectonic settings as natural laboratories. The Aegean region and Western United states are presented as labs for extensional tectonics; California, New Zealand, and Turkey provide good examples of strike slip; and active thrusting is discussed in the context of the Himalayas, and California.
