4.0 out of 5 stars
On the physics and mathematics of the structural geology
Instead of the classical approximation to the structural geology (field descriptions, geometrical classifications, etc.) the book tackles the issue from a numerical and "physical" point of view. Although the numerical approximation to the structural geology is not straightforward, the text is exhaustive in the explanations of the more complex concepts and mathematical...

Good book for what it is
Excellent book for the modeler when approaching structural geology, however the amount of classical structural geology in the book is strikingly sparse. If you are looking for a textbook that balances the two, you should probably look elsewhere.

On the physics and mathematics of the structural geology,
By José A. Álvarez-Gómez (Madrid, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Structural Geology (Hardcover)
Instead of the classical approximation to the structural geology (field descriptions, geometrical classifications, etc.) the book tackles the issue from a numerical and "physical" point of view. Although the numerical approximation to the structural geology is not straightforward, the text is exhaustive in the explanations of the more complex concepts and mathematical foundations, and is accompanied by good self explanatory figures. The authors share in a web complementary material as exercises and Matlab codes.
I strongly recommend this book to everyone planning to use mathematical tools and programming in relation with the structural geology. It should be very helpful too as textbook for the physical fundamentals of the elastic mechanics, stress and strain tensors, etc. If you are looking for an all-in-one book of structural geology to use as support for your studies or basic research... keep searching.
