Flow and Deformation
A hunter who investigates tracks in muddy ground near a waterhole may be able to reconstruct which animals arrived last, but older tracks will be partly erased or modified. A geologist faces similar problems to reconstruct the changes in shape that a volu

Introduction
The origin of this book lies in a practical course in microtectonics started by Prof. Henk Zwart at Leiden University, the Netherlands, in the early 1960s. Both of us were students of Henk Zwart at the University of Leiden and later, as his assistants, charged with the organisation of this course. As such, we became enchanted by the many interesting thin sections of his collection which expanded over the years, as Henk extended his work from the Pyrenees to the Alps, the Scandinavian Caledonides and to many other places in the world. An explanatory text was elaborated and regularly updated by a number of assistants, including us, under Henk's supervision. This text, together with many thin sections of the collection, served as a core for the present book. In the early 1980s, the Geology Department
