This book serves the purpose of providing in one volume a group of papers describing cases and/or models of modern associations of carbonate and clastic sediments. It fills a noticeable gap in the geologic literature....it is a welcome publication.... The volume is a valuable contribution to the sedimentological literature as it represents a benchmark for this most important subject. The editors have done a fine job in selecting papers, most of which deal with modern examples of carbonate-siliciclastic associations which provide those of us working in ancient equivalents with a number of possible analogs. It should be read by everyone involved with the subject.

The great strength of this book is that it provides, within a single volume, a series of case studies demonstrating the close association in both time and space of clastic and carbonate rocks.... In summary, the volume fills a long-neglected niche in the literature of sedimentology and, despite some drawbacks, provides a good summary of the various controlling factors and resulting geometries of carbonate-clastic transitions... you would do well to skim through it, paying particular attention to the excellent papers by Santisteban and Taberner; Murray, Roberts, and Young; Roberts and Murray; and Hay, Rosol, Sloan, and Jory.

Two of the largest subdivisions of sedimentology are clastic rocks and carbonates. There is, however, little communication between the investigators in these two fields. Yet, facies change from clastic to carbonate both laterally and through time. Drs. L.J. Doyle and H.H. Roberts realized the importance of these transitions and decided "to do something about it", which resulted in this excellent book... this book belongs on the bookshelf of every sedimentologist and reflects honor upon the editors, the authors, and the publisher.
