Synopsis
This fully revised and updated edition introduces the reader to sedimentology and stratigraphic principles, and provides tools for the interpretation of sediments and sedimentary rocks. The processes of formation, transport and deposition of sediment are considered and then applied to develop conceptual models for the full range of sedimentary environments, from deserts to deep seas and reefs to rivers. Different approaches to using stratigraphic principles to date and correlate strata are also considered, in order to provide a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of sedimentology and stratigraphy. The text and figures are designed to be accessible to anyone completely new to the subject, and all of the illustrative material is provided in an accompanying CD-ROM. High-resolution versions of these images can also be downloaded from the companion website for this book at: www.wiley.com/go/nicholssedimentology.

Review
?The book by Gary Nichols, a completely revised edition of his earlier work, is such a book. It is well written, clearly illustrated, and it covers (almost) all topics that are important in the two earth-science disciplines mentioned in its title.? ("Journal Of Sedimentary Research, " June 2009)
?I think that Nicols? book is most valuable, not only for students and teachers, but also for graduates and professionals who become involved in a sedimentological topic outside their own narrow specialism.? ("Geologos, " 2009)
From the Back Cover
Sedimentary rocks contain the most important archive of environmental change through Earth history. They record changing climates, the movement of tectonic plates, and the rise and fall of sea level on timescales of a few thousand to billions of years. This fully revised and updated edition introduces the reader to sedimentology and stratigraphic principles, and provides tools for the interpretation of sediments and sedimentary rocks. The processes of formation, transport and deposition of sediment are considered and then applied to develop conceptual models for the full range of sedimentary environments, from deserts to deep seas and reefs to rivers.
