To most people, travel is an exciting experience. When one journeys
around the world, one is struck by the great variety and beauty of
the landscapes that one encounters. The scientific mind, naturally,
is not satisfied with admiring the various landscapes, but would
like to understand how they were formed. The exact theory of
landscape formation is a very com plicated affair, but much can be
learnt from accurate observation. The need for the present little
book became apparent to the writer during his studies of the
mechanics oflandscape formation. It turned out that there was, in
fact, no systematic compilation of those surface features of the
Earth available, that have to be explained by theory. In effect,
even the taxonomic principles that have to be applied in a
classification of landscapes have nowhere been clearly stated.
Thus, this book is intended to present a pictorial taxonomy of
geomorphic features based on the basic principles of landscape
genesis, as they have recently been worked out. The pictures have
all been taken by the writer himself during many geoscientific
studies and travels throughout the world. Some of these pictures
had already been used in earlier publications of the writer's."
