Structural Analysis and Synthesis: A Laboratory Course in Structural Geology

by Stephen M. Rowland

This instructive, engaging, highly readable manual is intended for the laboratory portion of an undergraduate course in structural geology. Guided by students' and instructors' suggestions, Dr Stephen Rowland and his new co-author, Dr Ernest Duebendorfer, have refined various exercises for the second edition, and have added discussions of numerous topics, including axial planar foliations and the dip isogon methods of fold classification. There are also three new chapters on: balanced cross sections; deformation mechanisms, fault kinematics and microstructures; and plate tectonics.

This is an excellent laboratory textbook! It actually made Structural Geology easier and more fun to learn! I loved the Lord of the Rings tidbits in it too!
