Sandstones form the backdrop to some of the world's most
spectacular scenery, and are found all over the planet and in all
climates. Following on from the authors' successful 1992 book, this
is the only volume that considers sandstone landforms from a truly
global perspective. It describes the wide variety of landforms that
are found in sandstone, and discusses the role of lithological
variation, chemical weathering and erosional processes in creating
these features, with examples drawn from around the world. Climatic
and tectonic constraints on the development of sandstone landscapes
are also considered. This volume provides a comprehensive
assessment of the literature from publications in a range of
languages, and is illustrated with over 130 photographs of
sandstone features from every continent. It presents a holistic
account of sandstone terrain for researchers and graduate students
in a variety of fields including geography, geomorphology,
sedimentology and geomechanics.
