An excellent read and great resource book

An excellent book. Very technical and precise and yet not difficult to understand. Many diagrams and charts make it easier to understand. Many modern examples are given of various wave-ripple types as well as bedforms. I like it. It's the best that I could find. Topics covered include Physical Parameters, Current and Wave Ripples, Surface Markings and Imprints, Scour Marks, Tool Marks, Penecontemporaneous Deformation Structures, Bedding, Sediment Grain Parameters. As well is included a large section on Modern Environments: Glacial, Desert, Lake, Fluvial, Estuarine, Deltaic, Coastal, Shelf, Lagoon, Tidal Flats, Continental Margin-Slope-Ocean Basin.
