Summary "Understanding tensile fracture in rocks provides an important key for the interpretation of many problems in structural geology. This book presents a multidisciplinary approach to tensile fracture in rocks (faulting in only briefly addressed), starting with an introduction to fracture physics and progressing through tectonofractographic features, characterized both in experimental settings and in geological outcrops. The monograph serves not only as a manual on how to handle specific problems and their solutions in fracture geology but also as a starting point for researchers and graduate students interested in the field of rock fracturing."--Jacket
