how not to make themost common trading mistakes. If you are tired of reading how-tobooks, this is perfect for you. I highly recommend this book to alltraders. Everyone will learn something about themselves by readingthis book."—Kathy Lien, author, Day Trading the Currency Market,and Chief Strategist, www.dailyfx.com"Adventures of a Currency Trader is a must read foranyone who has ever traded or is thinking about trading in theForex markets. Rob Booker has a unique way of taking years ofmarket knowledge and transforming it into an educational andentertaining experience. It has quickly become a cult classic in mytrading library!"—H. Jack Bouroudjian, Principal, Brewer Investment Group"Brilliant! Rob's humor and humanity shine through in thisparable about trading and life. Filled with wisdom and wit, it's anexhilarating rollercoaster ride through the peaks and valleys ofthe learning curve, with many valuable lessons learned along theway."—Ed Ponsi, President, FXEducator.com"Rob's fable of everyman 'Harry Banes' is destined to become atrading classic. This is both the missing piece and the foundationthat comes before the strategies and methodologies. The search forthe Holy Grail begins and ends in the heart and mind. The journeyis authentic and real and if you're willing to take it with Rob,you will be rewarded in the end. Seldom has psychology and wisdombeen so entertaining!"—Raghee Horner, trader and author of Forex Trading forMaximum Profit and Days of Forex Trading"In a series of insightful and entertaining vignettes, RobBooker teaches both the novice and the experienced trader some hardwon truths about the currency market. It's a must read book writtenby a guy who survived the trenches and went on to prosper in thebiggest and most competitive financial market in the world."—Boris Schlossberg, Senior Currency Strategist, Forex CapitalMarkets LLC, and author of Technical Analysis of the CurrencyMarke

Regional-scale lateral variation and linkage in ductile thrust architecture : the Oykel Transverse Zone, and mullions, in the Moine Nappe, NW Scotland
No full textSharp lateral changes in structural geometry of ductile thrust stacks are not widely reported. A regional-scale lateral culmination wall forms the southern boundary of the Cassley Culmination in Moine rocks in the Caledonides of Sutherland, Northern Scotland. This culmination wall is part of the Oykel Transverse Zone (OTZ), a kilometre-scale shear zone characterized by constrictional finite strain fabrics aligned sub-parallel to the regional WNW-directed thrust transport direction. Main phase folds and fabrics in the transverse zone hanging wall are folded by main phase folds and fabrics in the footwall, thus recording foreland-propagating ductile deformation. South of the Cassley Culmination, shortening occurred uniformly, without development of discrete subsidiary thrusts; distributed deformation (fold development) alternated with localized thrusting within the culmination. The classic ESE-plunging mullions at Oykel Bridge are an integral part of the OTZ and were generated by constriction aligned sub-parallel to the transport direction. Constriction is attributed to differential, transtensional movement across the OTZ during culmination development. Subsequent formation of the underlying Assynt Culmination further accentuated upward-bulging of the Cassley Culmination, amplifying the lateral change across the transverse zone. The OTZ aligns with a pronounced gravity gradient on the south-western side of the Lairg gravity low. Interpretive modelling relates this gradient to a buried basement ramp that possibly controlled the location of the transverse zone
Comparing Tibet-Himalayan and Caledonian crustal architecture, evolution and mountain building processes
No full textThe Himalaya-Tibet and Caledonide orogens are comparable in scale and are similar in various aspects. Regional suture zones are recognizable in both, although their identification is more problematic in the deeply eroded Caledonide orogen. Crustal-scale thrust belts, regional Barrovian metamorphism characterized by clockwise P-T paths, and migmatitic cores with crustally-derived leucogranite complexes are the dominant structural feature of both orogens. Both orogens also record calc-alkaline magmatism attributed to subduction activity prior to collision. Syn-orogenic extension accompanied crustal thickening in both orogens, however, the Caledonides also have a protracted record of late- to post-orogenic extension that is attributed to lithospheric delamination in combination with oblique plate divergence. The oblique nature of the Caledonian collision is also reflected in the development of regionally significant sinistral strike-slip faults and shear zones, whereas such structures are apparently not as significant within the Himalayan orogen. The major difference between the two orogens relates to their contrasting gross structure: the Caledonides has bivergent geometry with thrust belts developed in the proand retro-wedges, whereas the Himalaya has a thrust belt located only in the pro-wedge segment. These differing geometries are probably explicable with reference to pre-collision contrasts in rheology and/or inherited structures. As such, there is no reason to suggest that either example should be viewed as being a 'typical' product of collisional orogenesis - they likely represent end-members of a range of possible orogenic profiles. © The Geological Society of London 2010

No full textScotland's geology: evolution, crustal structure and societal relevance
No full textScotland has a remarkably varied geology (Fig. 1.1). Onshore expo-
sures combined with offshore data incorporate rock units that
together represent all the major slices of geological time from
three billion years ago up to the Quaternary. In the first section of
this introduction to the 5th edition of The Geology of Scotland, we
present a summary of the geological framework and its evolution
as evidenced from the onshore rocks and offshore borehole cores
and seismic data. We present this evolution in terms of dynamic
Earth processes and highlight major global geological events. In
the second section, we draw together various independent lines of
research to reveal the heterogeneous nature and ancient pedigree
of the crust beneath Scotland, its current state of stress, and implica-
tions for earthquake risk and fault reactivation. In the final section, in
a change from previous editions, we present Scotland’s geological
resources in the context of their relevance to society and to the
underpinning of climate change mitigation and transition towards
net zero emissions
