Geological Field Techniques 1st Edition

Finally, a good, thorough, detailed book covering field mapping techniques and equipment. It is written for students in the UK but clearly applicable to the use in other countries. Having been a field geologist in the past, I have a number of field geology books on my shelf. The last full book Compton's Geology in the Field and Maley's book on field geology. This is a very worthy addition and a real bargain given the material that it contains. While not a "pocket book" like Lisles et al (a worthy book in its own right), it definitely belongs in the field kit for any field camp student or professional needing a good reference book. Definitely recommend.

I like this book. It is very detailed and seems to address every topic well. The chapter that discusses strike and dip is a bit confusing but it is not an easy subject to put into words. When you learn to do it in the field it will be easy. I am able to do strike and dip but do not ask me to teach it with words! This is well worth the money paid and you will learn a lot. Also good for reference.

Was highly recommended text for uni paper. Very useful for recent field trip. Love the photos of actual examples, makes it very understandable and relevant

This book has a lot of great illustrations. it's a bit large so I probably won't carry it in my backpack all day long but it will be a handy reference to have in your campsite in the evening.

This is a good book. It is well-organized, has a lot of good info and illustrations. It is, however, NO SUBSTITUTE for Geology in the Field by Compton. This book is almost superfluous next to Compton's.

Just got it. I am super excited. I know it's gonna be good based on what I have read so far in the introduction. I did a Geology degree back in 2012. Been working as a geologist professionally for almost 10 years but I feel that I need to go back to basics. This will be a big help.

Not much to say here. Got as a required text for college. Easy to follow and great information for my class. Keeping this book on ;my shelf is a must

I have the paperback and the Kindle versions. Very good advice and pictures. A few too many British examples, but the authors are British, to it's not too surprising.
