Introducing Geomorphology

Professor Adrian Harvey retired from the University of Liverpool where he taught undergraduate courses in geomorphology. As past editor in chief of the leading academic journal in the field he is uniquely placed to condense his encyclopaedic knowledge of geomorphology into this concise introduction to the subject.

• 1. Introduction to geomorphology; 2. Global-scale geomorphology; 3. Regional-scale geomorphology; 4. Local-scale geomorphology: Process systems and landforms; 5. Timescales and landform evolution; 6. Geomorphology and interactions with society. Further reading. Glossary.

‘This attractive publication is indeed footnote-free and well-produced in colour. It is, though, definitely slimline rather than lightweight. Authoritative in tone and broad in scope, any undergraduate or ambitious A-level student will learn much from its pages.’ Geography 'Prof. Harvey’s book is readable and well worth its price.'
