Lehrbuch der tektonischen Geologie : K. Metz. 2nd Revised Edition. Enke Verlag, Stuttgart, 1967, 357 pp., 231 illus. D.M.60.00

Abstract

Ten years after the first edition, an enlarged second edition appeared of the well-known book of K. Metz on structural geology. It has expanded from 294 to 356 pp., the number of illustrations increased from 188 to 231, the price from 46 to 60 D.M. All in all it is a necessary and reasonable increase in size and price after 10 years of vigorous developments in our knowledge of geomechanics and geodynamics. In conclusion, it can be said that the second edition of Metz’ textbook has the same qualities of its predecessor and that it is up to date, so that it can be recommended to students and teachers in hard rock geology and general geology.
