The Sedimentary Record of Sea-Level Change

"The main body of this book constitutes a fine presentation of the principles of sequence stratigraphy and their application to clastic and carbonate examples. The use of the Book Cliffs as the main clastic example is an excellent choice. The authors clearly know this area well, and their descriptions and interpretation are well done; they take into account all of the various hypotheses and controversies that have arisen around these rocks. The writing is clear and straightforward and the illustrations are truly excellent." Professor Andrew Miall, University of Toronto

"This textbook is simply without equal and there are no competing texts in the field. I have been amazed that it has taken so long for any textbook at the introductory level to give a comment and accurate treatment of sequence stratigraphy, and this text does it remarkably well. There is a clear need for a text such as this in any advanced undergraduate stratigraphy course. The text is logically laid out and the explanation of sequence-stratigraphic principles is perhaps the most lucid I have read anywhere." Dr. Steven Holland, University of Georgia, Athens

"This book has a lot to commend it. The approach to the subject of sequence stratigraphy using well-documented case studies is excellent, and as such the book fills an important niche in the market. Even the areas where there is overlap with other books, this text is better than others: indeed, it is the best summary of the concepts of sequence stratigraphy I have ever read. It is also a very well-written text. The style is clear and consistent throughout, a tribute to some very high quality editing of a multi-author book. Furthermore, the illustrations, both line drawings and photographs, are of extremely high quality, and they very effectively complement the text." Dr. Gary Nichols, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

"Very well designed and written, with judicious use of illustrations to present both concepts and real data." The Leading Edge
