"...represents a valuable, interdisciplinary and international overview of the processes responsible for a group of flow types with major impacts on sediments, landforms, climate and people...I recommend it wholeheartedly to all who are studying particulate gravity current deposits or consequences." (Geraint Owen, The Holocene, 13,2 (2003))
