Emphasized are the ways in which the study of sedimentary rocks is used to interpret depositional environments, changes in ancient sea level, and other intriguing aspects of Earth history.

For individuals interested in one text providing comprehensive coverage of both sedimentology and stratigraphy. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great sed book for college kids...I just took sedimentology this semester and this book was surprisingly helpful. I read several of the introduction chapters to get a feel for it and I was really happy with it. Everything is easily stated so that people who aren't a specialist in the field can understand it and I used it for my final extensively.

However, I must say that I have never read a bad book about stratigraphy. Boggs does a good job with this one. I fail to understand where a student could be confussed by his writting style. I suggest that those of you who were confused should read Tucker before you attempt to read the more advanced books. Rating:  - Geology bookPackaging was good. I paid for expedited shipping and it came the same day as other books I'd ordered with standard shipping. Rating:  - principles of sedimentologythis book was not at all like new, it was watermarked, ripped cover and crappy highlighting. Rating: - Probably one of the better sed-strat books aroundI used this book in my sedimentation and stratigraphy course two years ago, but I still have it hanging around on my bookshelves after three moves and a new school. Why? Because it's incredibly useful! Boggs is probably one of the better organized sedimentology books I've had the pleasure to come across. I've come away from reading it with a better understanding of depositional environments than I could have gotten otherwise. The illustrations were quite clear to me, and fit into ... Read More |
