It is more than half a century since the publication of R. A.
Bagnold's classic book The physics of blown sand and desert dunes,
and it is a tribute to the quality of Bagnold's work that many of
the fundamental principles which he developed - main valid today.
His book continues to be essential reading for any serious s- dent
of aeolian processes. However, the past two decades have seen an
explosion in the scale of research dealing with aeolian transport
processes, sediments, and landforms. Some of this work has been
summarized in review papers and edited conference proceedings, but
this book provides the rst attempt to review the whole eld of
aeolian sand research. Inevitably, it has not been possible to
cover all - pects in equal depth, and the balance of included
material naturally re ects the - thors' own interests to a signi
cant degree. However, our aim has been to provide as broad a
perspective as possible, and to provide an entry point to an
extensive mul- disciplinary scienti c literature, some of which has
not been given the attention it deserves in earlier textbooks and
review papers. Many examples are drawn from existing published
work, but the book also makes extensive use of our own research in
the Middle East, Australia, Europe, and North America. The book has
been written principally for use by advanced undergraduates, po-
graduates, and more senior research workers in geomorphology and
sedimentology.
