Valuable reference

This graduate-level book is crammed with information about marine geology. Plenty of diagrams and charts assist in the visualization of sometimes difficult concepts. The book's only real flaws are that it is a bit out of date (15 years) and that the editing is a bit dense - every couple pages one runs across extremely abstruse phrasing or grammatical errors. The information itself, however, is indispensable. There aren't any real alternatives to this book if you are studying geological oceanography or are merely interested in post-introductory texts on the subject.

Un comentario desde Mexico.

A very good title for introducing in the marine field. There is no necesary a deep knowledge of the sedimentary processes, only the fundamental concepts. Also this book is good for tectonics and physical geology. Can remember many concepts and can learn many more. I think this book is the excellent complement in the sedimentology courses. I recommended it for non-graduated students. If you want to known all the marine geology camp and what this camp can offers you...this book is all what you need. Un muy buen libro para conocer el campo de la geologia marina. No se necesita un conocimiento profundo de la sedimentologia, solo los conceptos basicos. Este libro tambien es muy bueno en tectonica y geologia fisica, permite recordar muchos conceptos y aprender muchos mas. Es un complemento excelente para los cursos de sedimentologia. Es de los mejores textos a nivel licenciatura.
