Mid-Latitude Slope Deposits (Cover Beds)

"The book edited by Arno Kleber and Birgit Terhorst provides convincing evidence how interesting slope deposits and their depositional environments are; it can only be hoped that their book will play an important role in bringing this somewhat neglected topic back in focus.the book is a good reading and to include it into the series 'Developments in Sedimentology' was an appropriate decision." --Geologos, December 2013
