Principles of rock deformation and tectonics / Jean-Luc Bouchez, Adolphe Nicolas.
The book is an up-to-date and augmented version that keeps the concise and rigorous writing of its inspiring French language predecessors. It is based on laboratory and field experience of both authors, with a focus towards hard rocks and magmatic rocks from both the continental crust worldwide and...
