This volume contains a collection of papers which were presented at the Inversion Tectonics Meeting held at the Royal Society in March, 1987. The book provides a very broad spectrum of examples of Inversion Tectonics which goes beyond the traditional usage of the term.

Divided into four sections: Modelling and theoretical concepts; Inversion in the Alps and Alpine Foreland; Inversion on the European Continental Shelf; and Inversion in other geological environments, the contents of the volume reflect the wide range of research on Inversion problems and, whilst this generates some controversy, the editorial consideration is that there is considerable value in illustrating the whole spectrum of current usage.
