Product Description

Product Description

The plate tectonics revolution in the earth sciences has provided a valuable new framework for understanding long-term landform development.

This innovative text provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject of global geomorphology, with the emphasis placed on large-scale processes and phenomena. Integrating global tectonics into the study of landforms and incorporating planetary geomorphology as a major component the author discusses the impact of climatic change and the role of catastrophic events on landform genesis and includes a comprehensive study of surface geomorphic processes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must have for Physical Geography Degrees, 28 Feb 2000
By A Customer
If you are doing or thinking of doing a Physical geography degree, this book is a must have. It goes into sufficient depth, while it is still fairly easy to understand. I guarrantee it will be on your reading lists.

4.0 out of 5 stars Geomorpholgy!, 31 Aug 2003
By A Customer
A must for undergraduate physical geography students. A comprehensive text that explains most of the processes and landforms studied at undergraduate level. But not to be used as a stand alone text, you will still have to trawl through journals for the in depth research.

This book is a very useful and helpful introduction book for Physical Geography with regards to Geomorph - well written and very informative without being over the top in excessive details. Clear & comprehensible.
