Originally published in 1984. This major text covers the whole
discipline of geomorphology, presenting a clear and comprehensive
overview of the field, drawing on the full range of modern
research. Landforms and their formative processes are treated on a
broad spectrum of spatial scales, and examples are drawn from the
major geological, climatic and biotic environments. The book is
divided conveniently into some 170 clearly defined sections to
allow readers to make the most efficient use of those parts of the
text relevant to their particular needs. After introducing the
basic concepts such as systems analysis, morphologic and cascading
systems, the historical-evolutionary approach and process-response
geomorphology, the book moves on to the geological background to
geomorphology and then the extensive third part deals with the
geomorphic processes and responding landforms. Part four examines
climatic geomorphology and the appendix touches on applied
geomorphology, especially fluvial processes.
