In recent years stratigraphy has been revitalised by new ideas and techniques such as the relationship between plate tectonics and sediment accumulations, magnetic and seismic stratigraphy, stable isotopes and cathodoluminescence.

Principles of Stratigraphic Analysis should play its part in the renaissance of stratigraphy among the current generation of undergraduates.
