Editorial Review:
This widely used, highly readable introduction to structural analysis is specifically designed to support the laboratory work of undergraduates in structural geology courses.
The new third edition includes:
- New and amended exercises and redrafted figures to improve clarity
- A single fold-out map of the Bree Creek Quadrangle – a mythical site used to help students analyze various aspects of the geologic structures exposed within this quadrangle and ultimately to develop a grand synthesis
- A user-friendly spiral binding ideal for work in the lab or out in the field
- An Instructor’s Resource CD-Rom available on request including answers to problems, artwork and other teaching suggestions - artwork from the book is also available to instructors online at www.blackwellpublishing.com/rowland

Average Customer Rating: 
Poor undergrad textbook 2003-10-15
Examples are poorly laid out in the text, and the questions seldom follow from what has been shown in the text. Not a useful learning tool at all.
Structural Analysis & Synthesis: A Laboratory Course in Stru 2001-07-10
This lab manual was required for our structural geology course given at the California State University, Dominguez Hills. In general, the book is not well laid out and there are too few problems to work. In order to become proficient one must work many types of problems. The author does not give enough examples of how to solve problems using both graphical then mathematical techniques. For example, a three-point problem can be solved by graphical or mathematical methods. Additionally, the book requires the reader to move between pages to extract the necessary information to solve a problem. This makes the book appear vague or confusing at times. The book is weak in areas that are of prime importance to geologists such as 3 point problems, thickness problems, out crop patterns, etc. These areas are important because they are used regularly in the interpretation of geology. Additionally, these problems are also found on many Registered Geology examination given by various states.
This was my lab book 2000-05-25
BAD. I had to use this for lab this quarter. The problems were on one page, the information and maps to work it were sometimes two pages prior to, or after it. Bad layout. Far too much page flipping. This book also didn't give very good examples, in such that they would give a very elementary example, and give significantly more complex problems to work, without any farther explaination. This area of Geology is difficult enough for us poor undergrads coming up without having this book to throw us off track.
