Description: The purpose in writing this text is to communicate the physical and geometric elegance of geologic structures within the Earth's crust and to describe the ways in which geologic structures reflect the nature and origin of crustal deformation through time.
When author George Davis conceptualized the cover illustration for the first edition of Structural Geology of Rocks and Regions, he wanted to emphasize that the human adventure of learning comes from doing; and that new insight springs from careful, detailed examination of field relationships, viewed at all scales from rocks to regions.
