The emphasis is on illustrating the principal types of sedimentary rocks and the book contains over 400 superb colour photos and drawings.

The author goes on to describe the main field techniques and provides a comprehensive summary of the principal characteristics of sedimentary rocks.

There is a chapter on each of the main rock types and on how to interpret facies and their features in terms of depositional environments and economic significance.

This book is of value to students, amateur enthusiasts and professional geologists.
