520 |a This extensively revised, restructured, and updated edition continues to present an engaging and comprehensive introduction to the subject, exploring the world's landforms from a broad systems perspective. It covers the basics of Earth surface forms and processes, while reflecting on the latest developments in the field. Fundamentals of Geomorphology begins with a consideration of the nature of geomorphology, process and form, history, and geomorphic systems, and moves on to discuss: --. 
520 |a This third edition has been fully updated to include a clearer initial explanation of the nature of geomorphology, of land-surface process and form, and of land-surface change over different timescales. The text has been restructured to incorporate information on geomorphic materials and processes at suitable points in the book. Finally, historical geolomorphology has been integrated throughout the text to reflect the importance of history in all aspects of geomorphology. --.
