Resumen
This talk will present a review of certain topics in structural geology and will analyse what the speaker considers were some of the major advances in their development. It may come as a surprise to many younger workers what high standards of observation and mathematical analysis of these observations characterized many publications over 100 years ago. One of our current problems is that researchers, not having easy access to these publications, keep “rediscovering the wheel”. There exists a strong case for republishing some of these works much in the way that the AAPG has produced volumes of the classic papers on faulting.
