Recenzii

From the reviews:
"…Like all other volumes in the "Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series," this is sure to be a classic, essential for earth science reference collections. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates and higher."
(M. L. Larsgaard, Choice, January 2004)
"Primarily for advanced undergraduates, this Encyclopedia does provide comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the processes that form sedimentary rocks. It will prove invaluable to both students of geology and professionals"
(Helen Ashton, Science and Technology, Vol. 18, no 2, 2004)
"This massive tome is part of the series Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences … . Most articles also give copious bibliographic references to both general texts and research articles and there is an index of authors cited, which is very useful. The illustrations are … with some good diagrams and reasonable photographs. … Primarily for advanced undergraduates, this Encyclopedia does provide comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the processes that form sedimentary rocks. It will prove invaluable to both students of geology and professionals." (Reference Reviews, Vol. 18 (2), 2004)
