Glossary of structural geology and tectonics / Глоссарий по структурной геологии и тектонике

I have been teaching Structural Geology and Tectonics for the past four decades and during this period, I always felt a need for a glossary or definitional dictionary devoted to this branch. I therefory, made an attempt in this direction. The editor for while doing the groundwork of the book made use of Glossary of Geology edited by R. Bates & J. Jackson (Am. Geo!. Inst., 1980); Glossary of Geology in Hindi edited by myself (CSTT Govt. of India 1996); Introduction to the structure of the earth by E. Spencer; Tectonic Geology by myself (2006); Geology: an Introduction by myself (2004).
This glossary is based on the works of many structural geologists and I have always tried to acknowledge their works. I have attempted to explain many terms with the help of illustrations citing many Indian examples wherever possible.
During the preparation of this book. I held discussions with my students namely, Or. Satendra (New Delhi); Or. D.C Nainwal (Gopeshwar); Dr. S.C Bhatt, Dr. B.C Joshi, Or. V.K. Singh and Prof. S.P. Singh (Bundelkhand University, Jhansi); Prof. A.K. Shandilya (Sagar University); Prof. CS. Dubey, K.N. Kandwal (Delhi University); S. Shekhar (Ground Water Board, New Delhi); Dr. A.C Pandey (BIT Mesra - Ranchi) and many figures have been taken in this book from their research works.
The book is being published under the aegis of the Geoscience Foundation, India and hopefully it would be llseful to students, research scholars and teachers connected with this branch of geology.  <...>
