1 Introduction -- 2 Controls on the sedimentary rock record -- 3 Alluvial sediments -- 4 Lakes -- 5 Desert aeolian systems -- 6 Clastic coasts -- 7 Shallow clastic seas -- 8 Marine evaporites: arid shorelines and basins -- 9 Shallow-water carbonate environments -- 10 Deep seas -- 11 Glacial sediments -- 12 Volcanic environments -- 13 Problems and perspectives.
Review: "Sedimentary Environments has been one of the most distinguished and influential textbooks in the earth sciences published in the last twenty years. The two earlier editions won universal praise and became classic works." "Since the publication of the second edition, knowledge and understanding of the importance of external controls on sedimentary environments has blossomed. This edition therefore places greater emphasis on sequence stratigraphy, architectural elements and allocyclic controls while retaining an extensive coverage of environments and the processes that operate within them. This should ensure that this edition sets a further benchmark in sedimentary geology."--Jacket.
