This edited volume reflects the growth of information about glacial-influenced sediment sequences and depositional environments......The book illustrates the potential of the landsystems concept with respect to the orientation of future research into mountain geomorphological systems, and provides a sound basis for improvement associated with sustainable development and management of such sensitive earth systems.- Volume 24, No 4, November 2004Mountain Research and DevelopmentThe book presents valuable reviews and new syntheses on glacial process-form models that represent wide-ranging geographic settings and styles of glaciation.Boreas 33All the chapters are well written and contain a wealth of information.Journal of Quaternary Science
