Sedimentary Geology: An Introduction to Sedimentary Rocks and Stratigraphy

The two primary areas of study - sedimentary rocks and stratigraphy - are presented in this sleek, complete and up-to-date undergraduate text. Background principles in chemistry, physics and structure are introduced as needed, so that the authors' lean, lively approach and focus on soft rock geology principles are preserved. The book contains the latest information on sequence stratigraphy and seismic stratigraphy. This year's best introductory text in sedimentology. New Scientist, 1996
