Structural Geology, An Introduction to Geometrical Techniques

Structural Geology, An Introduction to Geometrical Techniques by Donal M Ragan. Published by John Wiley & Sons Inc, New York, NY, 1973. 2nd Edition 2nd Printing. Paperback. Size 4to (up to 12'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine. 222 Pgs. ISBN 0471704814. LCCN 73-3335. This manual is designed to fill the need for a modern yet basic introduction to the geometrical techniques of structural geology. In addition to most of the material covered in the usual elementary course, two areas receive particular emphasis. The first is visualization, and extensive use is made of the powerful down-structure method of viewing geologic maps. Secondly, techniques that yield a maximum of understanding of new and old structural problems are stressed, and for several simple cases the relationship between geometry and mechanism of deformation are treated.
