| Summary: | "Sedimentology and stratigraphy are covered in unprecedented depth in this updated and dynamic follow-up to 'Principles of sedimentology', regarded since its publication in 1978 as the definitive text in the field. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this new text encompasses a contemporary global view of sedimentary deposits. The most recent data on such increasingly important topics as seismic stratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy, process sedimentology, facies patterns, extraterrestrial forcing functions, basin analysis, and plate tectonics are explored. The text's structure and organization accommodate a complete treatment of both sedimentology and stratigraphy and presents them in a historical context." -- |
