Structural Geology by Marland P. Billings
Features:
Emphasis is laid on mathematical methods especially while dealing with mechanical principles, mechanics of folding, jointing, plastic deformations and geophysical methods.
Laboratory exercises encourage students to analyze geological problems in a wider perspective.
References at the end of each chapter render the book useful to advanced reader also.
