Many of the world's leading researchers in this field have been brought together in this volume to provide concise overviews of the current state of the subject.  \u003cp\u003eThe plate tectonic revolution of the 1960's provided the framework for detailed models on the structure of orogens and basins, summarized in a 1995 textbook edited by Busby and Ingersoll. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTectonics of Sedimentary Basins: Recent Advances\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e focuses on key topics or areas where the greatest strides forward have been made, while also providing on-line access to the comprehensive 1995 book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBreakthroughs in new techniques are described in \u003cb\u003eSection 1\u003c\/b\u003e, including detrital zircon geochronology, cosmogenic nuclide dating, magnetostratigraphy, 3-D seismic, and basin modelling. \u003cb\u003eSection 2\u003c\/b\u003e presents the new models for rift, post-rift, transtensional and strike slip basin settings. \u003cb\u003eSection 3\u003c\/b\u003e addresses the latest ideas in convergent margin tectonics, including the sedimentary record of subduction intiation and subduction, flat-slab subduction, and arc-continent collision; it then moves inboard to forearc basins and intra-arc basins, and ends with a series of papers formed under compessional strain regimes, as well as post-orogenic intramontane basins. \u003cb\u003eSection 4\u003c\/b\u003e examines the origin of plate interior basins, and the sedimentary record of supercontinent formation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is required reading for any advanced student or professional interested in sedimentology, plate tectonics, or petroleum geoscience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdditional resources for this book can be found at: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.wiley.com\/go\/busby\/sedimentarybasins\"\u003ewww.wiley.com\/go\/busby\/sedimentarybasins\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eCathy Busby\u003c\/b\u003e got her BS from Berkeley and her PhD from Princeton University, both in Geological Sciences. She mainly works on upper crustal rocks, combining stratigraphy, structural geology, geochronology, geochemistry and paleomagnetics to solve tectonic problems. Her papers also include process-oriented studies in submarine and subaaerial volcanism, clastic depositional systems, and economic geology. Her research support has come from geothermal and gold exploration industries, as well as the petroleum industry, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Science Foundation.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntonio Azor\u003c\/b\u003e: Full Professor in Structural Geology and Tectonic Geomorphology at the Department of Geodynamics of the University of Granada (Spain).
