This book is an overview of the state-of-the art developments in sedimentology of tsunami-induced and tsunami-affected deposits, namely tsunamiites. It also points out any problems that need additional investigation, as well as providing insight into the direction of future tsunamiite researches. Important characteristics of tsunami wave and tsunami currents are explained. There are reports on the sediments generated by recent tsunami including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami presented. Tsunamiites induced by other seismic activities, a submarine slump and a volcanic eruption are investigated as well.
Several contributions in this book present new ideas concerning the characteristic sedimentary records of tsunamis and provide the criteria for recognizing features of various tsunamiites. The importance of studies of bedforms of tsunamiites from various environments is emphasized. New information is provided on tsunami-derived boulder deposits.

Shiki Nagaoka
From book's back cover:

"Personaje insolito de la literatura, Shiki Nagaoka, escritor de naiz descomunal, nacio en la peninsula de Ikeno a principios del siglo XX, segun relata magistralmente Mario Bellatin, finalista del Premio Medicis del ano 2000. El autor afirma que la obra de Nagaoka fue fundamental para la concepcion de lo fotografico en los sesenta, para escritores como Rulfo y Arguedas y para un grupo de estudiosos que, empecinadamente, tratan de descubrir el verdadero sentido del legado de este misterioso escritor, cuya vida se nos aparece como un interminable dialogo entre monstruosidad y belleza, oriente y occidente, imagen y palabra,espejo y verdad.

Shiki Nagaoka exploro y demostro las posibilidades narrativas de la fotografia, por lo que resulta fundamental que en esta edicion se incluya una seccion iconografica preparada por la fotografiia Ximena Berecochea, basada en una concienzuda investigacion. Asimismo, este volumen comprende dos narraciones relacionades con su nariz, tema que se encuentra presente a lo largo de la literatura nipona del pasado milenio." ... Read more
