Andrew D. Miall's *The Geology of Fluvial Deposits* is a comprehensive textbook on the study of fluvial sediments, covering sedimentary facies, basin analysis, and petroleum geology. The book provides an in-depth exploration of fluvial environments, their depositional processes, and their significance in understanding sedimentary basins and hydrocarbon reservoirs. It begins with a historical overview of the development of fluvial sedimentology, tracing the evolution of concepts from early geological theories to modern approaches. The text then systematically constructs the stratigraphic framework of fluvial deposits, starting with lithofacies, moving to architectural elements, and finally to fluvial styles. It discusses the correlation of fluvial sequences at basin scales, the autogenic and allogenic processes that shape fluvial systems, and the role of tectonics and climate in controlling sedimentation. The latter part of the book focuses on petroleum geology, examining the architecture of fluvial reservoirs, their heterogeneity, and their spatial distribution. It also presents a stratigraphic-tectonic classification of oil and gas fields in fluvial settings, supported by case studies from various regions. The book is intended for advanced students, researchers, and professionals in sedimentology, geology, and petroleum engineering. It includes extensive references, numerous examples, and diagrams to support its detailed analysis of fluvial systems and their geological implications. The author provides a thorough review of the history and development of fluvial sedimentology, along with a detailed exploration of the geological and hydrocarbon significance of fluvial deposits. The book is a valuable resource for understanding the complex interplay of processes that shape fluvial environments and their role in sedimentary basins and hydrocarbon exploration.Andrew D.
