	BADGLEY PETER C. Structural Methods for the Exploration Geologist 'Harper's Geoscience Series' Harper & Brothers, USA, 1959. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine [Better Than VG]/Good. Size: A4 / 21.6cm x 27.9cm. PLEASE EMAIL FOR SHIPPING RATES. xv, 280 pages including extensive index, with 329 figures in text + 16 air photographs. 'Much more comprehensive than its contemporaries, this book brings to professional geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers, mining engineers, and exploration engineers many methods and problems that are of particular value for their specific fields. Actual field problems, rather than abstract ones, are used extensively. The problems are sufficient in variety to meet the needs of each type of graduate and undergraduate student, as well as the practicing geologist. Numerous illustrations indicate the variety of interpretations possible for each situation. STRUCTURAL METHODS places particular emphasis on the need for selecting that method or interpretation which is most in accord with local conditions. All methods are described as simply as possible; a refresher course in mathematics is not required. There is a generous sprinkling of diagrams to illustrate the variety of structural types which can occur and to simplify the step-by-step solution of the three-dimensional problems. The final chapter on tectonic analysis shows one way to investigate entire exploration provinces. This approach would be modified in petroleum exploration by also using isopach and lithofacies maps in combination with the methods described in Chapter Nine.'
