Editorial Reviews

Provides the only comprehensive book on a subject that is important to a wide range of earth scientists ... the reader can't go wrong - Tectonophysics; This book gives us a comprehensive background to physical, instrumentational and geological aspects - Pascal Geode; Does an excellent job of bringing together all aspects of magnetic fabric analysis and I happily recommend it to all who have not worked previously in this field but (should) have an interest. They will surely find an application to their liking ... those of us working in the field probably want to have this book as a reference on our shelves - Geological Magazine
