Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Stratigraphy provides a comprehensive review of various stratigraphy types in a consistent, systematic manner. Each chapter includes definitions, concepts, practical applications, and case studies. The book begins with an overview of the discipline's historical principles. Subsequent chapters delve into specific types of stratigraphy: lithostratigraphy (lithology), biostratigraphy (fossil content), chemostratigraphy (geochemical properties), magnetostratigraphy (magnetic polarity), chronostratigraphy (absolute age), cyclostratigraphy (relationship to astronomical forcing), allostratigraphy (lithological discontinuities), and sequence stratigraphy (stratal stacking patterns). This structured approach makes the book a convenient reference for quickly reviewing and comparing different stratigraphy types.
Each chapter follows a consistent outline, making the text accessible and easy to navigate. This invaluable reference links theory with practice, and provides critical insights into the practical workflow that enables stratigraphic correlation in diverse geological contexts. The systematic presentation ensures that readers can efficiently compare and contrast the different stratigraphy types, enhancing their ability to integrate different stratigraphic methods in order to unravel the full array of physical and temporal complexities of the 3D stratigraphic framework.
- Provides a comprehensive resource for university instructors and students, as well as a guide to the workflow and practical applications of stratigraphy
- Reviews the development of stratigraphy over the last 550 years, from the formulation of ‘first principles’ in the Renaissance through to the modern state-of-the-art
- Presents all main types of stratigraphy as defined by the specific stratal attributes employed to delineate and correlate stratigraphic units and bounding surfaces
- Discusses key topics at the forefront of current stratigraphic research that describe the full array of physical and temporal complexities of the 3D stratigraphic framework
- Illustrates all concepts and case studies with high-quality, full-color diagrams, outcrop photographs, and subsurface well data and seismic images
