Tectonic Inheritance in Continental Rifts and Passive Margins

The main purpose of this book is to provide a clear understanding on the control of pre-existing tectonic weaknesses on the evolution of rift zones and passive margins. The authors have explained the relationship between the pre-existing structural elements and rifting architecture, and in attempting to do so, they have succeeded in connecting with readers. This work is a good summary of the available information from previously published books and research papers, and credit goes to the authors for presenting the assimilated information in a single volume.
