  Since the seminal work of Ambrosetti and Prodi, the study of global folds was
enriched by geometric concepts and extensions accomodating new examples. We
present the advantages of considering fibers, a construction dating to Berger
and Podolak's view of the original theorem. A description of folds in terms of
properties of fibers gives new perspective to the usual hypotheses in the
subject. The text is intended as a guide, outlining arguments and stating
results which will be detailed elsewhere.
