"Given the sheer scale of the topic under consideration here,
Professor Gregory does well to condense it into bite-size pieces
for the reader. I recommend this text to all undergraduate students
of physical geography and earth sciences, particularly to those in
their first and second years... This book is a comprehensive and
(crucially) inexpensive text that will provide students with a
useful source on geomorphology." - Lynda York, The Geographical
Journal "I would highly recommend this to anyone doing geology or
geography at university as a 'go to' book for geomorphology and
landform." - Sara Falcone, Teaching Earth Science "An excellent
source of information for anyone who needs a well-informed, easy to
use reference volume to introduce them to the fascinating
complexities of the earth's land surface, past, present and
future." - Angela Gurnell, Queen Mary, University of London This
introductory text details the land surface of the earth in a
readable style covering the major issues, key themes and
sensitivities of the environments/landscape. Emphasising the major
ideas and their development, each chapter includes case studies and
details of influential scientists (not necessarily
geomorphologists) who have contributed to the progress of
understanding. Providing a very clear explanation of the
understanding achieved and of the debates that have arisen, the
book is comprised of 12 chapters in four sections: Visualising the
land surface explains and explores the composition of the land
surface and outlines how it has been studied. Dynamics of the land
surface considers the dynamics affecting the earth's land surface
including its influences, processes and the changes that have
occurred. Environments of the land surface looks to understand the
land surface in major world regions highlighting differences
between the areas. Management of the land surface is an examination
of the current and future prospects of the management of the
earth's land surface. With pedagogical features including further
reading, questions for discussion and a glossary, this original,
lively text is authored by one of the leading experts in the field
and will be core reading for first and second year undergraduates
on all physical geography courses.
