The textbook provides an introduction to general field work through selected topics that illustrate specific techniques and methodologies.
Special efforts were made to include topics that consider aspects of environmental geology in particular those subjects that involve field inspections related to for example, the placement of artificial fills, sediment control in canals and waterways, the geologic effects of cities, or the importance of expansive soils to environmental management and engineering. In addition, some widely ranging topics dealing with legal affairs, geological methodology, the scope and organization of geology, report writing, and other concepts, such as those related to plate tectonics and continental drift, provide a necessary perspective to the arena of field geology.
