Description

Special Publication 487

This Special Publication is a celebration of research into the Folding and Fracturing of Rocks to mark the 50th anniversary of the publication of the seminal textbook by J. G. Ramsay. Folding and Fracturing of Rocks summarised the key structural geology concepts of the time. Through his numerical and geometric focus John pioneered and provided solutions to understanding the processes leading to the folding and fracturing of rocks. His strong belief that numerical and geometric solutions, to understanding crustal processes, should be tested against field examples added weight and clarity to his work. The basic ideas and solutions presented in the text are as relevant now as they were 50 years ago, and this collection of papers celebrates John’s contribution to structural geology. The papers explore the lasting impact of John and his work, they present case studies and a modern understanding of the process documented in the Folding and Fracturing of Rocks.

This book was certainly a worthwhile read, with much thought-provoking and insightful work that will develop your understand¬ing of structural geology and make you question your interpreta¬tions in the field.

This is a very impressive update on how folding and fracturing can be studied, with some very useful and well-illustrated case histories; although some researchers here are treading a fine line between describing technical innovation and some obfuscation. So don’t forget Ramsay’s words - they are still very relevant today.

Rasoul Sorkhabi Ph.D

This new volume, edited by Bond and Lebit, also offers 14 theoretical or field case studies related to rock folding, fracturing and strain. These field case studies mostly come from the UK and the USA, but there is also a paper each from Greece, the Dead Sea and China.
