Atlas of Structural Geology, Second Edition is a multi-contributed, comprehensive reference that includes submissions from many of the worlds leading structural geologists, making it the most thorough and comprehensive reference available to the scientific community. All types of structures are featured, including structures related to ductile and brittle shear zones, sigma- and delta-structures, mineral fish, duplexes and trapezoids, shear related folds, and flanking structures in meso- and micro-scales. This second edition features new and expanded coverage, including seismic-image interpretation, landslide deformations, flowing glacial structures, and more than 150 new full color images to illustrate the geologic structures.
- Presents more than 400 top-quality, full-color photographs contributed by the worlds most respected structural geologists
- Features a broad range of morphological variations of geologic structures, making it the most up-to-date and inclusive reference of its kind
- Aids researchers in developing mathematical and analogue models on the peculiarity and uniqueness of the worlds most iconic structures

Soumyajit Mukherjee is a professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. He received his PhD in geology and MTech in applied geology from IIT Roorkee in 2007 and 2002, respectively, and received his BSc in geology from Presidency College (Kolkata) in 1999. He was a recipient of the Hutchison Young Scientist Award from IUGS in 2004. He served as the guest researcher at the Hans Ramberg Tectonic Lab, Uppsala University, from 2005 to 2006. Dr. Mukherjee, a structural geologist and tectonician, has performed fieldwork, microstructural studies, and analogue and analytical modeling, mainly on ductile shear kinematics and collisional tectonics. His research and editorial experience spans 15 years and so far he has authored and coedited 14 books and thematic volumes.
