This volume, written by a long time resident and geologist, brings to life the secrets of Cape Anne's geology as well as the environmental impact current and past land use has had on the cape from a geological perspective. Also included is a geologic field guide to ten fascinating localities along the rocky shore." - From the book cover.

Field mapping and stereonet analysis of brittle and ductile structural data collected during 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping of the Milford quadrangle yielded the following general observations, which suggest that the ductile deformational history of this region appears to have strongly influenced the later development of brittle structures in the same rocks: The behavior of these fractures in relation to ductile structure have implications for rheological constraints on tectonic models of the post-Alleghenian core of the New England Appalachians, hydrogeologic models of regional fractured bedrock aquifers, and the interpretation of topographic lineaments.
