? The book by Gary Nichols, a completely revised edition of hisearlier work, is such a book. It is well written, clearlyillustrated, and it covers (almost) all topics that are importantin the two earth-science disciplines mentioned in its title.?(Journal Of Sedimentary Research, June 2009)
? I think that Nicols? book is most valuable, not only forstudents and teachers, but also for graduates and professionals whobecome involved in a sedimentological topic outside their ownnarrow specialism.? (Geologos, 2009)

Different approaches to using stratigraphic principles to dateand correlate strata are also considered, in order to provide acomprehensive introduction to all aspects of sedimentology andstratigraphy. The text and figures are designed to be accessible toanyone completely new to the subject, and all of the illustrativematerial is provided in an accompanying CD-ROM.
