Notice for e-book users 
 
Structural Geology & Map Interpretation is distributed free of cost, as an 
e-book, and anyone may freely use or further disseminate this textbook. 
No person or institution shall charge any cost for the use or distribution of 
this e-book. 
 
This book is intended for self-study, use in university courses and/or 
professional training. The inclusion of exercises in each chapter helps the 
user to quickly grasp the meaning of elementary concepts. Answers to the 
exercises are given in the back of the book. 
 
Structural Geology & Map Interpretation has been distributed worldwide 
in hard copy - to over 60 countries – during the first few years after its 
publication in 1997. Active marketing and distribution ceased in 2001, but 
bookshops from around the world kept ordering the book for their clients. 
Users praised the book for its practical approach. Unfortunately, the book 
was no longer available in hard copy since 2005. 
 
This book, was written in the 1990s, and sponsored by Uppsala University 
(Sweden) and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (Saudi 
Arabia). The intellectual property rights for this book are held by Alboran 
Science Publishing. Their support for the global distribution of this e-book 
is kindly acknowledged. 
 
My hope is that this e-book can still serve as a valuable teaching and 
training aid. This is exactly what the book was written and published for in 
the first place.
