Introduction. A global view of sedimentary deposit : is it big enough? --
Particles, sediments, and sedimentary rocks. Sediments : names, particles, bulk properties --
Burial diagenesis and other ways of turning sediments into sedimentary rocks --
Classifying and naming sedimentary rocks --
From layers to sequence- and seismic stratigraphy. Layers and their associated primary sedimentary structures : a first look --
Mesosequence- and seismic stratigraphy --
Process sedimentology and environments of deposition. Sedimentary processes : physical, biological, and chemical --
Circulation in the atmosphere, in modern oceans, and in basin waters --
Deep-water settings --
Shelf seas and epeiric seas --
Beaches and barriers --
Marginal flats : peritidal environments --
The mouths of rivers : estuaries, deltas, and fans at the sea shore --
Nonmarine environments : deserts, rivers, lakes, and glaciers --
Large-scale patterns of sedimentary deposits. Extraterrestrial forcing functions --
Principles of stratigraphy --
Basin analysis.
