"In short, a commendable work that presents a compendio of varied exercises to get into some of the practical problems associated with structural geology tural and tectonics. The reader will find from theoretical cases to others whose resolution implies solving problems more of interest to society, is to reconstruct how much moves and deforms a region of the earth's surface, assess the significance of the magnitude of an earthquake or reconstruct what shape and characteristics some have structures in the subsoil. In times when we have- We need to encourage our students to understand give the potentiality and practical use of our science, and for society to know and recognize the usefulness of our another profession, this work provides some useful examples for necessary task of training future professionals. As Lynn Fichter and Steven Whitmeyer point out in the book: "all models are wrong, but some of them are useful"." --OTRAS Publication
