Product Description
Review
From the reviews of the previous edition: ‘This is the book that all teachers of stereographic projections have been waiting for! It contains 115 pages of well-presented, clearly explained, generally well-illustrated text - in short it is user-friendly.’ Episodes
‘I have been happy to recommend [this book] to undergraduates as a virtually essential purchase, and in the two years of experience of using it since it first appeared it is clear that students concur with this view. [It is] compact, inexpensive, and well structured to meet the needs of students in an area that many find difficult.’ Journal of Structural Geology
‘The most commonly voiced complaints from students regarding stereograms are that they do not understand them, and that they do not see their relevance. This book tackles both problems: The latter by setting stereographic analysis firmly within a geological context, the former by, first and foremost, ‘encouraging the student to visualise … problems in 3-D’. Through a set of remarkably clear illustrations the authors then demonstrate how the 3-D problems can be represented (and solved) in a 2-D projection.’
‘This book is a practical and workmanlike introduction to stereograms in structural geology and will be of great use to hard-pressed lecturers with large classes and limited time. It is a must for all teaching libraries.’ Journal of African Earth Sciences
'With this work the authors have provided a simple and easily useable introduction to the subject. If you have an interest in structural geology, this book is an ideal aid.' The Open University Geological Society Journal
‘This is the best student manual available on stereographic techniques, and it deserves to be in all geological teaching libraries.‘ Geological Magazine
'… highly recommended to the readers of this journal, either as a reference text for the practicing engineering geologist or as a supplement for courses in engineering geology or the hydrogeology of fractured rocks. … The style of writing … is remarkably good and free of the jargon of structural geology … the authors provide simple and elegant definitions when the occasion calls for them. … informative and well written. … Lisle and Leyshon have written a fine and comprehensive introduction to a difficult topic. … the book is well worth its modest price.' Environmental and Engineering Geoscience

Product Description
The stereographic projection is an essential tool in the fields of structural geology and geotechnics, which allows three-dimensional orientation data to be represented and manipulated. This book has been designed to make the subject as accessible as possible. It gives a straightforward and simple introduction to the subject and, by means of examples, illustrations and exercises, encourages the student to visualise the problems in three dimensions. Students of all levels will be able to work through the book and come away with a clear understanding of how to apply these vital techniques. This revised edition contains additional material on geotechnical applications, improved illustrations and links to useful web resources and software programs. It will provide students of geology, rock mechanics, geotechnical and civil engineering with an indispensable guide to the analysis and interpretation of field orientation data.
