Many geoengineers and geologists have used the Structural Geology of Rocks and Regions textbook in structural geology class, and beyond. One of the authors, Dr. George Davis of the University of Arizona (emeritus) was recently on hand at the GSA’s annual meeting to unveil a new edition of the book being published by Wiley. According to the AZ State Geologist’s blog, the new edition will be available in mid-November.

On a personal note, I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Davis as my professor for structural geology at the U of A when I was an undergrad in geological engineering. I believe it was his last semester teaching the undergraduate course before he accepted a position as provost of the University. I still remember his engaging lectures and field trips. He was one of the very best instructors I had in my time at the U of A, for both my bachelors and masters. [Source: Arizona Geology. Image: Arizona Geology blog]
