Críticas:

"The writing style is conversational and familiar and the text is sprinkled with numerous vignettes from the author's long and distinguished career... Exhaustive descriptions complemented by abundant simple, clear illustrations form the core of each chapter." (Geographical Journal, September 2008) "The book contains numerous excellent examples to illustrate the concepts introduced in the text ... .An excellent advanced textbook that should be widely read by all geologists interested in the interaction of active tectonics and landscapes." (Geoscientist, January 2009)

Reseña del editor:

With a balance of theory and practical applications, Tectonic Geomorphology of Mountains is essential reading for research geologists and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in the earth sciences. * This book describes how tectonic events influence geomorphic processes and explores how landscapes respond to tectonic deformation in the ways in which they are weathered, washed, and abraded * Uses new approaches to enhance theoretical models of landscape evolution and to solve practical problems such as the assessment of earthquake hazards * Includes previously unpublished research and theory * Examines how to use key landforms as reference levels in changing landscapes, estimate rates of mountain-range uplift, and map seismic shaking caused by prehistorical earthquakes * Presents a diverse range of examples from around the world
