This book�presents a comprehensive,�contemporary review of tidal environments and deposits.� Individual chapters, each written by world-class experts, cover the full spectrum of coastal, shallow-marine and even deep-marine settings where tidal action influences or controls sediment movement and deposition. Both siliciclastic and carbonate deposits are covered.�Various chapters examine the dynamics of sediment transport by tides, and the morphodynamics of tidal systems.�Several chapters explore the occurrence of tidal deposits in the stratigraphic context of entire sedimentary basins.� This book�is essential reading for both coastal geologists and managers, and geologists interested in extracting hydrocarbons from complex tidal successions.Typham this is the title: Principles of Tidal Sedimentology
