Abstract Overall, the writing of the second edition was more conscientious than the first edition, because of the insertion of two additional important steps (expert reviewing and editing works before submitting the manuscripts to Petroleum Industry Press). Therefore, the academic level and the editing level were greatly elevated in the second edition of this book. Furthermore, the number of pages in the second edition of this book have been increased up to 1800 pages that doubled the number of pages of the first edition. Therefore, the second edition will be published in two volumes.
Hopefully, the Sedimentology of China (Second Edition) will further promote the continual development and innovation of Chinese and international sedimentology and will benefit the construction of our country.
Hopefully, after the next nineteen years, many more outstanding Chinese sedimentologists, based on the latest knowledge of Chinese sedimentology, will revise the second edition and publish the third edition of this book. Therefore they can continuously make contributions to the development and innovation of Chinese and international sedimentology, and continuously make contributions to the construction of our country.
Lastly, I must point out that the Sedimentology of China (First Edition) is a historical monograph in the domain of Chinese sedimentology and Chinese geology, it will continuously contribute to the development of Chinese and international sedimentology.
Congratulations on the publication of the Sedimentology of China (Second Edition)!
Best wishes to all the readers! Best wishes to Chinese sedimentology!
