Preface to the Second Edition

A second editon of this book - yes or no - or not yet?

Are changes necessary or would it be enough if minor

errors in the text were corrected?

So I asked for help and I got answers from friends

and colleagues. I wish to thank W.Ch. Dullo (Kiel), A.

Freiwald (Erlangen), H.-G. Herbig (Cologne), W. Piller

(Graz), W. Schlager (Amsterdam), R. J. Stanton (Thousand

Oaks, USA) for their excellent and friendly advice.

They were in agreement that not enough has changed

in the scientific field of ‘Microfacies of Carbonate Rocks’

since 2004 when the first edition was published for a

new edition to be necessary, but they all believed that

an update of the references on the CD going with the

volume would be useful.

Therefore, the reference section has been updated

to April 2009. Most of the new references are since

2002, but a few are earlier. The reference file now

contains more than 16,000 references. In connection

with the keywords used throughout the book these

references can help the reader locate special subjects

or overviews of interest.

When Erik wrote this book during his last years,

his primary goal was to provide students and all those

interested in and working with microfacies a helpful

und useful resource that contained many plates and

figures.

Most of the pictures in this book were collected

during Erik Flügel’s scientific work, some are from

papers that were published in the journal Facies, then

published by the Institute of Paleontology (now Geo-

zentrum Nordbayern), University Erlangen-Nürnberg, and

last not least, some were graciously provided by col-

leagues.

The author had hoped to include an additional

chapter with plates that would provide the reader with

an expanded range of information about microfacies.

This task has been accomplished by A. Munnecke

(Erlangen). Chapter 20 contains plates and figures that

have been used successfully in the Course on Micro-

facies held every year or two at the University in

Erlangen.

I wish to thank all of my colleagues at the institute

in Erlangen, and especially A. Munnecke for the

compilation of Chapter 20.

Ch. Schulbert was most helpful in solving software

problems with the text and CD.

I thank Ch. Bendall (Springer Verlag Heidelberg)

for overseeing the printing of this new edition.
