You may go through Hedberg's International Stratigraphic Guide.

You may look at Jacques Rey (coord.), Stratigraphie - terminologie française. Bull. Centres Rech. Explor.-Prod. Elf Aquitaine, Mém. 19, 164pp, 63 fig., 8 tab., Pau 1997. ISSN 0181-0901; ISBN 2-901 026-46-x

Enjoy your reading,

Try also the classical standard textbooks of Miall: A. D. Miall, The Geology of Stratigraphic Sequences (1997) and Principle of Basin Analysis (2000).

Good luck,

Hi! My vote vote would be for: 

Time in Stratigraphy, 1964, Shaw, Alan B., International Series in the Earth Sciences, McGraw-Hill, NY, 365p. [From p. 102 to the end, Shaw introduces his powerful method, Shaw’s Method of Correlation, and gives concrete examples. It is a classic!]

Shaw described and introduced how to correlate fossiliferous sedimentary rocks using graphic plots of first and last appearances of fossil taxa, as heights in each section, each X- and Y-axis using the same scale. The line of correlation (LOC) is the straight line that connects the points. Relative sedimentation rates are found to be the slope of the LOC. The relative ages of the base of each section can be estimated as a function of if the LOC passes through the origin. This is summarized in many texts but the original is still the best., best, Ken

All the above are good recommendations.  I would also recommend Grabau's Principles of Stratigraphy (https://archive.org/details/principlesofstra00grab), Sloss's classic papers on cycles (highlighted here by KGS - http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Publications/Bulletins/169/Sloss/), and the AAPG Memoir 26 entitled "Seismic Stratigraphy: Applications to Hydrocarbon Exploration". Two papers in this volume have been influential (1) Vail, P.R. and Mitchum, R.M., 1977, Seismic stratigraphy and global changes of sea level, Part 1—Overview:  AAPG Memoir 26, p.51-52 and (2) Vail, P.R., Mitchum, R.M., and Thompson, S., 1977, Seismic stratigraphy and global changes of sea level, Part 3—Relative changes of sea level from coastal onlap:  AAPG Memoir 26, p.63-81.  I realize this is a broad mix, but the point is that perspective on stratigraphy and methods (that is, what is the intent of your work or question) temper the way one correlates packages of rock.  This final link, a presentation, provides a good historical perspective on sequence stratigraphy, too --> http://www.searchanddiscovery.com/pdfz/documents/2010/50262martinsen/ndx_martinsen.pdf.html

I agree with Stanley.  Another great reference is: Catuneanu, O., 2006, Principles of Sequence Stratigraphy, Elsevier Publ., Amsterdam, which has many great color photographs and excellent diagrams., , Ken

I recommend to take a look at : Coe (Editor) - The sedimentary record of sea level change, Cambridge University Press

Ager - The nature of the stratigraphic record - for a refreshing sideways look at things

Brett and Baird (Eds) - Palaeontological Events

 What type of material do you want? General? ou specific? (Seismic Stratigraphy, Basin Analysis, sequence Stratigraphy).

About what is your study or work?

If do you want general I recomend "Principles of Stratigraphy - by Michael E. Brookfield"

For sequence stratigraphic concepts and correlations you might consider the book:

Catuneanu Octavian (2006) Principles of sequence stratigraphy. Elsevier 375 pp.

Regards

All good recommendations, and as Keith Henry Nicholls mentions, Ager's books are very worthwhile.  Ager tackles the complicated issue of how strata are preserved in the rock record.

 Sergey Meyen.1989. Introduction to the theory of Stratigraphy. Moscow. "Nauka" 216p.

In russian, The auther considers the principle of stratigraphy. He discusses paleoecosystematic approch to stratigraphy and other.

Please  contact Dr. Ann Holbourn (University of Kiel-Germany).

Catuneanu, O. (2006). Principles of Sequence Stratigraphy, Elsevier Publ., Amsterdam, 375 pp.

All the principles of Sequence Stratigraphy en therefore of stratigraphic correlation were established by Peter Vail, Robert Mitchum and colleagues in AAPG Memoir 26. This is the "bible" or original source, all the rest comes or evolves from this.

Application of Modern Stratigraphic Techniques, edited by Ratcliffe & Zaitlin: http://sp.sepmonline.org/content/sepsp094/1.toc

 Thank you very much for everyone who contributed to my assignment. I am truly great-full for your help.
