Book synopsis

Sedimentology is steadily developing as a basic discipline of earth sciences. The authors describe the chronology of the emergence of sedimentology by setting out the objective of sedimentology studies and its broad impact on such diverse fields of earth sciences as petrology, mineralogy and geomorphology as well as on applied fields such as geotechnology, ecology and soil sciences. The approach is distinctive since the book deals with the significant contributions made by individuals to the development of the subject from Steno in the seventeenth century to the present day. It is lavishly illustrated with examples of research as well as portraits of key scientists. With a Foreword by Professor Dott of Wisconsin Universuty, this is a library reference work rather than a course text for Earth Sciences libraries world wide. The book is a revised and expanded version of a book first published in Japanese in 2002.
