Clay rich sediments are the most common type of sedimentary deposits. However the literature of clays is much less common. Therefore all books on this area are welcomed. Especially a book with a broad theme of clay seals of oil and gas deposit is really needed by engineers and geologists.

However this books fails to be a broad book for a reader interested in clay seals in general, but provides a good insight of the work conducted in Russia.

The references in the book lack a main part of the important references in this area despite the close to 300 references in the book. The nomenclature which are used are differ with common practise. Some of the figures have Russian text. The micrographs has not been labeled to common practice is it a backscatter SEM picture, ordinary SEM etc.

The last part of the book "modeling of the change in the clay seals properties in lithogenesis" is really not a book but a scientific paper of a method developed by the authors.

If you look for a general book about clay seals of oil and gas deposits you should probably look elsewhere. However it gives access to important research which are difficult to access when originally written in Russian.
