从古希腊谈起，包罗万象，共16章，光参考文献就有70页左右，彩色图版15页。
主编：EDUARDO A.M. KOUTSOUKOS，各章由多位知名作者分别撰写，实在是不可多得的好书。

Conceptually, the book consists of four parts. The introductory chapter (Evolution of a Concept) provides a historical background to the breadth and diversity of stratigraphic studies, whose roots lie at the very origin of all Earth Science. The second part (The Search for Patterns: Ordering the Framework) commences with an overview of chronostratigraphy as applied to the study of regionally extensive stratigraphic sections. The subsequent chapters review and elucidate current paleontological applications in biochronostratigraphy, event stratigraphy, paleoenvironmental syntheses, and paleobiogeographic reconstructions of Phanerozoic marine and continental sedimentary basins, thus providing insights into ancient ecosystems and their evolution through geological time. The third part (The Search for Clues: Analyzing and Sequencing the Record) presents comprehensive and authoritative surveys of diverse geoscience disciplines applied to the analysis of the stratigraphic record, including correlation,
paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions, sequence stratigraphy, cyclostratigraphy, and “biosteering.” The fourth part (Modelling the Record) discusses the development of quantitative stratigraphy and graphic correlation techniques, both of
key importance to the refinement of chronostratigraphic frameworks as these pertain to interactive stratigraphic databases and basin modelling.
