Structural Geology
Structural Geology by Marland P. Billings offers a comprehensive introduction to the principles and applications of structural geology, emphasizing the analysis and interpretation of rock deformation features such as folds, faults, joints, foliations, and lineations. The book blends rigorous theoretical foundations with practical field methods, illustrating how to decipher the history and mechanics of crustal deformation through map interpretation, geometric analysis, and stress–strain relationships. Billings also explores tectonic environments and structural patterns on regional scales, making the text valuable for students, researchers, and professionals seeking a solid understanding of structural processes that shape Earth’s lithosphere.
