Chарmаn & Hаll / Sрringеr | 1994 | ISBN: 0412533006 0045510539 0045510547 9780045510542 9780045510535 9780412533006 9789400959866 | 357 pages | PDF | 20 MB

This book provides a unified treatment of the whole of sedimentology. The volume is dedicated to the subject that is truly inter disciplinary, commands the attention of Earth scientists, is of consider able interest to fluid dynamicists and civil engineers, and it finds widespread practical applications in industry.

This text aims to introduce such a combined approach to senior undergraduate students, graduate students and to interested professional Earth scientists.

The whole book is organised around the logical progression from the birth of grains to their cementation in sedimentary rock and it integrates qualitative and quantitative approaches at every opportunity.
