Reviews

From the reviews:“The Atlas of Mylonites is a remarkable compendium of information and imagery on the fascinating topic of intensely deformed rocks. … the book offers readers the ability to learn on their own how to interpret deformation histories contained in mylonites. … The print quality and use of color is excellent. … This work is a welcome new reference and teaching resource, valuable for professionals and students … . Summing Up: Highly recommended. Geology collections serving upper-division undergraduates and above.” (J. S. Lackey, Choice, Vol. 48 (2), October, 2010)
