4.0 out of 5 stars A first port-of-call for reference, 16 May 2001
By A Customer
Concise and informative, The Dictionary of Physical Geography is a must-have, as a useful first port-of-call for reference. Edited by the well-established physical geographers David Thomas and Andrew Goudie, the dictionary describes and explains physical features broached in the Earth Sciences, as well as exploring theories - both their historical debates and contemporary issues. Complete with tables, diagrams and photographs, each entry is supplemented by a list of 'recommended reading' and references, providing the user with key readings on each topic. Cross-references are capitalised, enabling one to easily locate related subject-matter within the dictionary.

My only qualm with the book is that some entries are a little too brief and as such, prior knowledge of terminology is required.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good buy, 11 Jan 2009
This is a good buy for the physical geographer whether doing A-levels or a Uni student like myself.

Its a good constant addition to any reference list, the explanations are generally pretty good, worth the money in my opinion, i use it on a daily basis.
