An introduction to geological structures and maps / Введение в геологическое картирование и геологические структуры

This new edition, the 7th, takes note of trends in syllabuses on geological structures and associated problem maps, particularly the move to take less account of the use of structure contours in understanding maps and solving structural problems. There are now two chapters on Map solution without structure contours, the first with simpler maps means that this topic has been introduced at an earlier stage in the book. The second introduces more difficult maps and there are, in these two chapters, three new additional maps. The use of structure contours is not diminished in this edition — the chapter explaining the construction of structure contours is retained with minor additions — as are the maps in the chapter on Economic problems which, reflecting the real world, rely heavily on structure contours for their solution. The other most obvious addition, is that of 16 photographs to illustrate geological features as they are introduced. There are a number of minor additions to the text. In respnse to many requests over the years, this edition now contains completed sections of every map (where a section was required) in addition to the two given in the 6th Edition. Solutions to the maps in Chapters 2 and 11 are also included in the appendix. I would like to express may thanks to my coauthor for his contribution, particularly his photographs, and to former colleagues for all their help in the past in providing the foundation on which this present edition is based. <...>
