[edit] SURFACE PROCESSES AND LANDFORMS

This work is suitable for courses in geomorphology, process geomorphology or landforms.

Designed for courses in Geomorphology, this book includes both basic material for students without a great deal of background in geology as well as more advanced topics. With coverage that reaches beyond the study of surface processes, it contains discussions on the evolution of landforms and interpretation of their origin. The Second Edition reflects the increasing relevance of geomorphology to environmental concerns and the additional emphasis this has placed on more applied aspects of the field. Also considered is the revolution of the discipline brought on by many rapidly-evolving tools, such as computers, sophisticated electronic measuring devices, lasers, mass spectrometers, new methods of dating landforms and deposits, and others. *Features virtually all new photos and many new illustrations, including new full-color photos of outstanding geomorphic features. *Updates and enhances coverage throughout the text. *Includes a totally new chapter on periglacial features. *Provides an abundance of new, updated references. *Brief outlines of chapter content at the beginning of each chapter. *End-of-chapter references to Internet sites that may be accessed for additional material. *Features an outstanding visual program with a wealth of vivid photos that helps readers actually see conceptual material on display in the real world. *Integrates specific examples of surface processes, such as Mt. St. Helens as an example of an exploding volcano. *Offers a set of sample test questions to aid students in studying for exams and professors in preparing them. *Provides extensive and specific references to offer a basis for further in-depth study of surface processes.
