Product Description
Review
'… the structural geology text that I have long been waiting for … this text truly shows the application of structural geology to real life academic and industry problems. It will go straight onto my syllabus as the required text.' Professor Bruce Trudgill, Colorado School of Mines
'If you only buy one structural geology textbook - this is the one to get. It's both theoretical and practical … with excellent illustrations and thought-provoking examples.' Professor Rob Butler, University of Aberdeen
'Lavishly illustrated in color, this textbook takes an applied approach to introduce undergraduate students to the basic principles of structural geology … Containing numerous end-of-chapter problems, e-learning modules, and with stunning field photos and illustrations, this book provides the ultimate learning experience for all students of structural geology.' The Eggs EGU Newsletter (the-eggs.org)
'Gorgeous. Nothing less. Everyone in need of structural geology - and that's quite a few of us - will certainly find this book very useful. There is a good balance between text and figures, and the figures are very good, be it the photos, maps, graphics or principle sketches. It is simply a pleasure to read this book. Seldom have we seen such a user-friendly textbook.' GEO
'… Fossen is to be applauded for crafting a unique, high-caliber, and accessible undergraduate textbook on structural geology … beautifully illustrated, with excellent original color diagrams and with impressive color field photographs that are all keyed to locations and placed into geologic context. … This book will likely get a lot of use; it is well written and priced right. … an excellent, accessible introductory structural geology text that is admirably well illustrated and well written. It should prove to be a valuable resource for students and instructors alike.' EOS

The book provides unique links to industry applications in the upper crust, including petroleum and groundwater geology, which highlight the importance of structural geology in exploration and exploitation of petroleum and water resources. Topics range from faults and fractures forming near the surface to shear zones and folds of the deep crust. Students are engaged through examples and parallels drawn from practical everyday situations, enabling them to connect theory with practice.

Great text terrible binding!
8 Mar 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
CONS: Everyone I know who bought this book in hard copy is pissed off! The binding is terrible and the book is falling apart!
PROS: This is the best structural geology text I could have gotten! Its got great colored pictures, easy to follow chapters and concepts, has a nice summary and review questions at the end of almost every chapter, and has magnificent online e-modules to help drive home the main concepts.
I definitly recommend this text, but the e-book version from [...]. This is after all a new book, and Im sure the publishing company knows about their fatal flaw by now, so I would assume they plan on fixing it soon.

Structural Geology
9 Feb 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is interesting, not too hard to read. My copy is just fine but a handful of people in my class have had the binding fall apart on their copies, so that would be something to watch for especially if you were purchasing it used.
