Synopsis

'An Introduction to Geological Structures and Maps' is a concise text that leads the student by easy stages from the simplest ideas on geological structures right through a first on geological mapping. The approach Dr Bennsion adopts is designed to help students working with little or no supervision: each new topic is simply explained and illustrated by text figures, and exercises are set on succeeding maps. If the students are unable to complete the problems, they should read on to obtain more specific instructions on how the theory may be used to solve the problem in question.

A considerably enlarged sixth edition includes more exercises to make the progression from the simplest to the most advanced maps even more gradual. New material further reinforces concepts already introduced and an entirely new chapter on planetary geology shows how geological relationships observed in the terrestrial environment can be used to interpret geological information obtained from elsewhere in the solar system.
