First sentence: For the purposes of this book the term 'thrustbelt' is given a broad meaning to encompass any deformed belt in which contractional or transpressional brittle and brittle/ductile structural styles dominate over other types of structures, including conventional thrustbelts, transpressional ranges, toe thrusts and accretionary prisms (Figs. 1.1-1.6, Tables 1.1-1.6).
