Techniques of Modern Structural Geology Folds and Fractures

Volume 2 contains 13 sessions comprising practical work and problems. The approach is to help the student develop his own methods and to solve problems by logical thinking, rather than to rely on the routine application of a previously described and well-worn 'magic' formula. Each session starts with the formulation of a problem and the presentation of any essential background or necessary mathematical techniques. All the sessions are drawn from actual geological examples and are extensively illustrated with photographs taken in the field and with micrographs, giving the students a feeling for what occurs in nature. The problems are also well illustrated with photographs and drawings, and the solutions draw out the key features of the methods used.Ramsay, John G. is the author of 'Techniques of Modern Structural Geology Folds and Fractures', published 1987 under ISBN 9780125769228 and ISBN 0125769229.
