The majority of the papers in this publication are connected with the study of modern carbonate sediments. Bob Ginsburg pioneered the concept of comparative sedimentology - that is using the modern to compare to and relate to and understand the ancient. These studies are concerned with Bob's areas of passion: coral reefs and sea-level; submarine cementation and formation of beach rock; surface sediments on Great Bahama Bank and other platforms; origin of ooids; coastal sediments; formation of stromatolites; impact of storms on sediments; and the formation of dolomite. The remainder of the papers apply the study of modern environments and sedimentary processes to ancient sediments.  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecent other publications of the International Association of Sedimentologists\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSPECIAL PUBLICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e40           Analogue and Numerical Modelling of Sedimentary Systems\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom Understanding to Prediction\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Edited by P. de Boer, G.
