| Summary |
"This encyclopedia, which constitutes a wide ranging and authoritative collection of academic articles, covers the sedimentological aspects of sediments and sedimentary rocks. As such the encyclopedia provides a comprehensive, one-volume reference work for students and faculty in university, and for professionals in geology and allied disciplines (geography, engineering, environmental studies), as well as informed lay readers."--Jacket. |
