This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the fundamental aspects of structural geology, emphasizing both classical concepts and modern developments. A detailed account of the techniques of geometrical analysis is provided, giving a sound background to principles of geological deformation and in-depth analysis of mechanisms of formation of geological structures.
