Riassunto

<i>Sedimentary Environments</i> is one of the most distinguished and influential textbooks in the earth sciences published in the last 20 years. The first and second editions both won universal praise and became classic works in sedimentology. Since the publication of the last edition, the study of sedimentary environments and facies has made great strides, with major advances in facies modelling, sequence stratigraphy and basin modelling. The 3rd edition of this classic text will likely set the benchmark even higher, and needless to say, will continue being the textbook of choice for sedimentology students. <br /> <ul> <li style="list-style: none"><br /> </li> <li>The latest edition of a classic text.<br /> </li> <li>Incorporates all the latest advances in dynamic stratigraphy.<br /> </li> <li>Will remain the textbook of choice for upper level undergraduate and graduate students in sedimentology.</li> </ul>

Dalla quarta di copertina

<i>Sedimentary Environments</i> has been one of the most distinguished and influential textbooks in teh earth sciences published in the last twenty years. The two earlier editions won universal praise and became classic works.<br /> <p>Since the publication of the second edition, knowledge and understanding of the importance of external controls on sedimentary environments has blossomed. This edition therefore places greater emphasis on sequence stratigraphy, architectural elements and allocyclic controls while retaining an extensive coverage of environments and the processes that operate within them. This should ensure that this edition sets a further benchmark in sedimentary geology.<br /> </p> <p><b>Reviews of the second edition</b><br /> </p> <p>'...required reading for the professional geologist along with any serious graduate or senior undergraduate student.'<br /> --<i>Journal of Sedimentary Petrology</i><br /> </p> <p>'Every sedimentologist who practices the study of facies and environments should have this edition on his or her shelf.'<br /> --<i>Sedimentary Geology</i><br /> </p> <p>'It is a must for university libraries as it forms an excellent basis for the subject.'<br /> --<i>Earth Science Review</i></p>
