This volume presents contributions resulting from the Tenth International Basement Tectonics Conference, held in Duluth, Minnesota, USA in August 1992. The first three parts -- the Rift Systems, Basement Control on Younger Structures, and Shear Zones -- not only treat the geology of North America, but also the geology of other regions. Abstracts are summarized in Part IV.

This volume contains a selection of papers presented and discussed at the 7th International Conference on Basement Tectonics. Most papers are devoted to the Major Fracture Zones in the Earth’s Crust and the Tectonic Evolution of North American Basins. The contributions focus on the geology, petrology, geophysics and remote sensing of basement rocks and its deformation history with an emphasis on field observations.

Architects Jesse Reiser and Nanako Umemoto have been generating some of the most provocative thinking in the field for nearly twenty years. With Atlas of Novel Tectonics, Reiser+Umemoto hone in on the many facets of architecture and illuminate their theories with great thought and simplicity. The Atlas is organized as an accumulation of short chapters that address the workings of matter and force, material science, the lessons of art and architectural history, and the influence of architecture on culture (and vice versa). Reiser+Umemoto see architectural design as a series of problem situation

Palaeomagnetism, plates, hot spots, trenches and ridges are the subject of this unusual book. Plate Tectonics is a book of exercises and background information that introduces and demonstrates the basics of the subject. In a lively and lucid manner, it brings together a great deal of material in spherical trigonometry that is necessary to understand plate tectonics and the research literature written about it. It is intended for use in first year graduate courses in geophysics and tectonics, and provides a guide to the quantitative understanding of plate tectonics.

One needs to look at only a small portion of the enormous literature on plate tectonics published in the last 15 years to realize that there are many differences between the various reconstructions that have been presented. It becomes obvious that, although there is a general agreement about the presence of an assembly of continents (a Pangaea) in the early Mesozoic, there is considerable disagreement among earth scientists as to the configurement of the assembly and the manner and timing of the subsequent dispersal. While the revolution in geophysics was taking place, systematic work in pal
