Time is a central feature of geomorphological research, and is used
in this book (first published in 1977) to provide a conceptual
framework within which to consider and compare old and new
approaches to the field of geomorphology. The emphasis is on
providing not merely a manual of current research but an
introduction to isolate ideas and concepts, stimulate critical
discussion and examine some of the problems that are involved in
dealing with data.

In this atlas the authors have brought together, in accessible
form, a set of maps which portray a vivid picture of the physical
environment of the British Isles. Each set of maps is accompanied
by text that explains the nature and causes of the patterns that
can be observed. The contents are broadly based, covering the
geology, geomorphology, hydrology, climatolgoy, soils,
biogeography, and seas of the British Isles and the human impact on
each of these aspects. The maps are as uncomplicated as the subject
matter allows and the text is designed to be accessible to a wide
range of readers. The book was prepared to celebrate the centenary
of the Geographical Assocation. From it emerges a remarkable
picture of the physical landscape. Together with its companion
volume, Britiain in the 1990s: A Social and Economic Atlas, it
provides a comprehensive overview of the British Isles.
