Book reviews: Problems and solutions in structural geology and tectonics

Great challenges in structural geology and tectonics

Successful scientific theories provide theoretical understanding for reliable deterministic or probabilistic forecasting of events. In the past decades the volume of data obtained within the fields of structural geology and tectonics has increased enormously, but the theoretical understanding of the processes that generate these data has not advanced at the same rate. For example, after decades...

Geomorphic and structural assessment of active tectonics in NW Alborz

Alborz Mountains is a region of active deformation within Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. The study fault system in western Alborz comprises abundant evidence of active faulting accompanied by occurrence of historical earthquakes. Active tectonics of Manjil-Rudbar fault zone whose movement caused destructive 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake was concentrated in this article through geomorphic and st...

Menger’s and Hurewicz’s Problems: Solutions from “the Book” and Ramifications

We provide simplified solutions of Menger’s and Hurewicz’s problems and conjectures, concerning generalizations of σcompactness. The reader who is new to this field will find a selfcontained treatment in Sections 1, 2, and 5. Sections 3 and 4 contain new results, based on the mentioned simplified solutions. The main new result is that there is a set of reals X of cardinality b, which has the fo...
