DESCRIPTION:
The chapters provide examples of how drawings evolve and are complemented by exercises, allowing the reader to practice their drawing prior to going out into the field or working at the microscope. Users of this unique guide will develop their knowledge and technical vocabulary whilst also improving their drawing skills.. Moreover, geological drawing improves observational ability and contributes to the understanding of geological structures and structure-forming processes. Despite the modern dominance of computer graphics programs and digital cameras, the ability todraw geological structures manually remains a necessity in academic geology and beyond. Geological drawing is assisted scientific thinking.Drawing Geological Structures provides undergraduate as well as graduate and practicing geologists with a thorough, step-by-step practica
