Summary: Great if you're a researcher but not for beginners
Comment: This book is WAY too much for beginning undergraduates. There are relatively few field/rock photographs and tons and tons of complex drawings of complex geometry of complex concepts. For a beginning American student, this book would surely make them turn-tail and flee as far away from structural geology as possible! Perhaps things are different in Mexico City.

Summary: A fundamental book for researchers and students in structure
Comment: This is one of the best books in structural geology I ever read. It covers both the brittle and ductile fields, and also includes special chapters on microstructures and rheology that are not too detailed in similar books. Nice draws and pictures, together with important bibliographic references, help the reader to understand the explanations. One thing I found very useful are the Boxes, paragraphs inside the normal chapters, where the authors treat the mathematics applied to structural geology, that is somewhat hard to understand in other books. Only negative aspect I found: there is not a paperback version available. I found the book very useful as student, during the structural geology course I've taken in both undergraduate and graduate level, but also as quick reference manual for reserach.
