Packaging was good. I paid for expedited shipping and it came the same day as other books I'd ordered with standard shipping.

• Great Sed Book For College Kids... 17 December, 2008
I just took sedimentology this semester and this book was surprisingly helpful. I read several of the introduction chapters to get a feel for it and I was really happy with it. Everything is easily stated so that people who aren't a specialist in the field can understand it and I used it for my final extensively. It also proved helpful for looking up terms for other classes. Probably one of the best geology books I own.

Overall this is a good book. However, I must say that I have never read a bad book about stratigraphy. Boggs does a good job with this one. I fail to understand where a student could be confussed by his writting style. I suggest that those of you who were confused should read Tucker before you attempt to read the more advanced books.

• Probably One Of The Better Sed-strat Books Around 31 August, 2005
I used this book in my sedimentation and stratigraphy course two years ago, but I still have it hanging around on my bookshelves after three moves and a new school. Why? Because it's incredibly useful!
Boggs is probably one of the better organized sedimentology books I've had the pleasure to come across. I've come away from reading it with a better understanding of depositional environments than I could have gotten otherwise. The illustrations were quite clear to me, and fit into the text well.
In conclusion, Boggs makes a relatively complicated subject much easier to grasp for an undergraduate without dumbing it down to the point where the book is useless to anyone else. This is just as good of a reference as it is a text!
