Sedimentology and Stratigraphy by Gary Nichols
The record of tectonic and climatic processes through geological time is held within sedimentary rocks along with evidence for the evolution of life. This book provides students with an introduction to the continuum of scales of observation and interpretation which lie between the formation of a grain of sand and a fill of sedimentary basin.
Altogether an enjoyable readI would recommend Gary Nichols' book to anyone who intends to spend the rest of their life contemplating rocks, at whatever level. GBP26.50 is a reasonable price to pay for a concise and uncluttered companion to future studies.
