Tilting at windmills policies. The movie "They Might Be Giants" (1971) features a reference to Don Quixote thinking that the windmills are giants, and the movie is named after that reference. Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, in a 1972 album release by the same name, wrote and recorded the song Don Quixote which contained the lines "through the woodland, through the valley, comes a horseman wild and free; "tilting at the windmills passing", who can the brave young horseman be...". The alternative Santa Barbara band Toad the Wet Sprocket released the album "Dulcinea" in 1994. Named for the love interest of Don Quixote, the
Tilted block faulting interest in core complexes and rotational extension systems remains high. Tilted block faulting Tilted block faulting, also called rotational block faulting, is a mode of structural evolution in extensional tectonic events, a result of tectonic plates stretching apart. When the upper lithospheric crust experiences extensional pressures, the brittle crust fractures, creating detachment faults. These normal faults express themselves on a regional scale; upper crust fractures into tilted fault blocks, and ductile lower crust ascends. This results in uplift, cooling, and exhumation of ductily deformed deeper crust. The large unit of tilted blocks and associated crust can help form an integral
