Basic Methods of Structural Geology

It's a well written textbook, but I realized after receiving a rental version that it was mistake to rent this book. The previous user had torn out exercise pages that I needed to complete my assignments. So luckily I was able to return it.

I enjoyed the class and lab. The text could use some updating but is clear on concepts. Expensive but worth it.

I got a used one and it was just fine. No pages torn out, even though I had to tear some out to turn in to the class. Stereonets are friggin' hard as a rock (that's what she said).

Got the book for my structural geology lab. It came in good shape and arrived in the expected time. I heard you can get it for less though.

hey a book!

Great book, this is one of the few textbooks I'll look back at.

I am a recent geology B.S. graduate and I absolutely loved my major. That being said, this book was a requirement for one of my classes and I have no qualms stating how much of a headache the problems in this book were. Not because they were hard problems, but because the book does a very poor job at providing quality examples. Some of the diagrams are also mislabeled (e.g. three point problems) which literally will leave a student at a roadblock -- forcing you to find another source to teach you how to solve certain problems.Furthermore, the appendices in the book lack randomized (or even/odd numbered) problem solutions such as can be found in most modern math, engineering, chemistry textbooks.Bottom Line: This textbook makes learning structural geology a huge turn off.

I only bought this book because it was required for class. Overall, it's not a terrible book but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's not the best for understanding if you have no knowledge.
