Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)John Ramsay has pioneered development and application of quantitative determination of strain in deformed rocks. This book is essentially a laboratory manual designed for use in an advanced course in strain analysis of rocks.
The book is apparently out of print, and like its companion volumes comes at a rather high price. However, if you are a serious student of structural geology (grad. student or researcher) you should have a copy. If you teach structural geology at any level you should have access to a copy. Although the contents are copyrighted, perusal should provide a multitude of ideas leading to similar exercises for your own courses.
Like John's other books, this is a "must have."

This book has grown out of a need to teach fundamental, practical aspects of structural geology to undergraduate and postgraduate students in the earth sciences and they have written to provide a basic text at undergraduate university level. We have tried to assemble a comprehensive account of such basic techniques as could be the foundation of a practical and theoretical course in the analysis of tectonic structures, stress and strain. Volume 1 covers the principles of deformation, and Volume 2 applies these principles specifically to the analysis of folds and fractures.Key Features* Provides a unique practical introduction to structural geology for students* Uses over 220 clear line figures* Lavishly illustrated throughout with 107 high quality photographs showing features of naturally deformed rocks over a range of scale-aerial photographs, field photographs and photomicrographs* Starts each session with the formulation of a problem and presentation of any essential background or necessary mathematical techniques* Gives graded problems with solutions fully discussed in the text drawing out key features of the methods used* Provides 22 working diagrams for use is problem solving
