"Sedimentary Basins: Evolution, Facies, and Sediment Budget" by Gerhard Einsele

This completely revised and enlarged edition provides an overview of all major topics in sedimentary geology. The book addresses both qualitative and quantitative aspects of basin analysis, including topics such as various flux rates, diagenesis, and fluid flow, in the context of plate tee tonics and sedimentary geology.

This book is written for advanced students and professionals who require a comparatively straightforward, elementary treatment of sedimentary basin proces ses and evolution.
