Geology in the Field (1985)
Robert R. Compton July 1985 John Wiley and Sons

As the publisher states, this book "replaces Compton's Manual of Field Geology (1962)." This is a book for instructors, rather than for students. Compton discusses how to make and interpret field observations, how to recognize key features in igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, and how to interpret and combine field data into a report.
