Focusing on deformation microstructures and mechanisms in minerals and rocks, this guide offers a systematic approach for recognition and interpretation at the thin section scale. It highlights diagnostic features through high-quality photomicrographs and diagrams. The text categorizes deformation into three main classes and logically progresses from low- to high-grade deformation. Innovative chapters cover magmatic deformation, shear sense indicators, and shock microstructures, while the final chapter links microstructures to quantitative analyses of Earth's behavior, summarizing recent experimental research.
