As form merely a descriptive knowledge of) the smaller- described, the experiments are for the most part purely scale mechanically formed features of detrital sedi- ments. In a sense, this new book is a second edition of qualitative, but many can with only little modification my earlier Physical processes oj sedimentation (1970), be made the subject of a rewarding quantitative exer- which continues to attract readers and purchasers, inas- cise.
