   Book Review
This lavishly illustrated textbook describes how past changes in sea-level can be detected through an analysis of the sedimentary record, and how sequence stratigraphy techniques can provide explanations of how the entire sedimentary system evolves through geological time. Designed for use on undergraduate and graduate courses in sequence stratigraphy, this textbook includes numerous educational features. These include detailed case studies, set-aside focus boxes, and bulleted Questions and Answers interspersed throughout the text. The book also is supported by a website hosting sample pages, selected illustrations, and student exercises.
