Sedimentary Environments and Facies

By H.G. Reading

Sedimentary Environments and Facies is 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 in sedimentology Since the publication of the second edition, the study of sedimentary environments and facies has made great strides forward. There have been major advances in facies modelling, sequence stratigraphy and basin modelling. This dynamic stratigraphy lends a new element to the book; and the third edition should set a further benchmark and remain the textbook of choice for students in sedimentology.

Stunning

An amazing book. I've only had a chance to leaf through but it is immensely descriptive. Lots of sketches, figures of sedimentary environments, photos, TONS of explanation, etc... I really wish this book were available when I was a student - I might have liked sed. rocks a lot better. This book is opening my eyes. I highly recommend it as a starter or very advanced read.
