Review Summary: Starters' kit for sedimentology
Date: 2002-05-03
Details: This well written book contains most important subjects involved in sedimentology. Besides sedimentology a small introduction to stratigraphy can be found. The focus is on sedimentary systems and special chapters are devoted to delta's, rivers, lacustrine and marine environments. Clear illustrations are a great help understanding the text and developing an overall idea of the subjects. Overall a very good book for undergraduate geology courses.
