This substantially revised, reorganized and updated third edition is a comprehensive and systematic analysis of landforms of the late Cenozoic era and the forces that have shaped the evolution of our present landscape. Detailed coverage of the history of geomorphology and the methods of geomorphic analysis is followed by explanation of the constructional processes of tectonism and volcanism and the erosional pro-cesses of weathering, fluvial erosion, glaciers, winds, and waves. Each set of processes and the resulting landforms, illustrated by a wide range of examples, is covered separately for a comprehensive overview.
Besides addressing the needs of undergraduate and graduate students of geology and physical geography, the text will also be useful to students of civil and environmental engineering, atmospheric sciences, archeology and town planning.ISBN 9788120320574
