Geomorphological Processes and Landscape Change Reviews

This significant and timely volume provides a contemporary body of information on the function of geomorphological processes in landscape and environmental management in human history. (Choice)

I enjoyed this particular journey through time, which contains some thought-provoking (though invariably qualitative) observations on the making of the British landscape. (Basil Gomez, Annals of the Association of American Geographers)
