About the Book

Following the same format as the highly successful Volume 1, Volume 2 applies the principles of deformation to the analysis of folds and fractures. There are 13 sessions, each providing 3 hours of practical work and problems. The problems are well-illustrated with photographs and drawings, and the solutions are discussed in detail. All the sessions are drawn from actual geological examples and are extensively illustrated with photographs taken in the field and with micrographs, giving students a feeling for what actually occurs in nature.

Review :
" Impressive features of this book are its thoughtful and meticulous compilation, the effort to use real rather than artificial examples where possible, the clarity and beauty of the plates, and the generally high standard of production. Ramsay and Huber's book deserves to be widely used." --Geological Magazine "The book should become a basic reference for all structural geologists, especially the specialist in small-scale structures. It could be used by graduate students or, perhaps, by well prepared senior undergraduates." --Tectonophysics "It is clear from volume 2 that this series will be the best ever produced teaching text in geology. The authors and publishers are to be congratulated. Although several references are made to volume 1 on Strain Analysis, volume 2 stands alone and should be in great demand, not only by advanced students, but by any practicing geologist needing an update on structural geology. The problems.....give students a feel for the excitement of ongoing research. The sessions conclude with the best review of joints I have ever read. For good measure, appendices give a concise outline of force and stress and an excellent minature on geological mapping. The illustrations and diagrams are superb throughout and in themselves constitute a valuable "atlas" of deformation structures. Those who struggle with mathematics have little to fear, because rigorous treatment of mechanisms have been reserved for volume 3. In conclusion, if you're a structural expert, student, or just want to know what the deformation boys are up to, rush out and buy this book, it is excellent value." --Earth Science Reviews, 1989 "Like the first volume, this one is copiously and beautifully illustrated. The line drawings, as one has come to expect, are excellent and almost all drawn just for this book. Nearly all the photographs are previously unpublished, and they are very good indeed. A strength is the reliance on natural examples to illustrate the prin
