Excerpt from Geomorphology of New Zealand, Vol. 1: An Introduction to the Study of Land-Forms
Geomorphology has become in recent years a well-developed science based on firmly established principles. If the assumption can be made that the reader is familiar with the fundamental principles of the science, intelligible explanatory description of a landscape becomes possible. In the hope of setting forth these principles in a convincing manner, and thus popularizing in New Zealand the fascinating study of land-forms, the present work (Part I) is cast in the form of a text-book of geomorphology for New Zealand students and general readers.
The systematic treatment of the subject has been adopted in the hope that it will prepare readers not only to follow the explanatory descriptions of land-forms in a regional treatment of the surface of New Zealand, now in preparation for publication as Part II of Geomorphology of New Zealand, and to appreciate geomorphological articles in scientific journals, but also to undertake for themselves with some degree of confidence the interpretation of the landscapes they see about them. Included in Part I are brief descriptions, in most cases accompanied by illustrations, of a large number of examples of typical land-forms chosen from New Zealand localities - in many cases well-known scenic resorts, as well as places within easy reach of the cities.
A text-book such as this is necessarily in great part a compilation, and is made possible only by the labours of many workers in a wide field. I have attempted to acknowledge my indebtedness to these many workers by a few references to original publications; but in a book for the general reader it is not desirable that references to literature should be over-numerous, and such acknowledgments as appear in the text by no means indicate the full extent to which the work of others has been drawn upon.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the earth's surface, delving into the intricate process of how landscapes are shaped. The author draws on the pioneering work of nineteenth-century scientists, who recognized the crucial role of erosion in forming the Earth's features. He introduces a systematized approach to understanding these processes, outlining the contributions of rain, rivers, wind, glaciers, and wave action. The book also discusses the significance of geological structures, like folds and faults, and how these influence the erosive forces. It examines various cycles of erosion, from the initial stages of formation to the eventual flattening of landscapes over time. A rich array of illustrative examples, particularly from New Zealand, bring these concepts to life, making the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of geomorphology and the beauty of natural landscapes. This insightful work provides a foundational understanding of the complex forces shaping the Earth's surface and their lasting impact on our world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330458693_0
