Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:Geomorphology and Earth sciences in general have been profoundly transformed by ideas that expand our vision from “normal” or “equilibrium” forms and developmental pathways (with exceptions to the pattern treated as deviations) to a much richer vision. The latter recognizes multiple possible pathways and outcomes, and landscapes and landforms that encompass, but transcend, classical equilibrium notions. Basics of Geomorphology is to my knowledge the first and only geography or geology textbook that fully embraces this new vision. Gregory and Lewin have managed the difficult but important task of distilling a new set of “basics” from these revolutionary insights that both broadens and complements traditional ideas. This book is remarkable in the way that it acknowledges a wonderful plurality of conceptual frameworks and approaches, and explains them in a clear, engaging way. Time will tell, but this book may well mark a turning point in the way students and scientists alike perceive Earth surface processes and landforms.
(Jonathan Phillips)This book provides a very accessible overview of the discipline of geomorphology that is well supported by web-based material. The text is up-to-date, with excellent reference to relevant literature, and presents the discipline in an interesting and novel way. It provides a very readable and informative introduction to the discipline for senior undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers approaching the subject from other areas of science.
(Angela Gurnell)In the current millennium humans have reached a critical point for coping with the surface of their planet, including its changing climate and environments, the alarming vulnerability to its hazards, and the increasingly complex problems of sustainability. All of these interrelated concerns require renewed attention to geomorphology, the science that deals with Earth’s land surface and the processes that operate thereupon. I can think of no better guides than Professors Ken Gregory and John Lewin to lead the reader through the conceptual basis of this exciting science, as they do in their new book: The Basics of Geomorphology: Key Concepts. I highly recommend this book to those wishing for an up-to-date introductory overview of this rapidly changing science that is so critical to preserving the continuing habitability of our planet.
(Victor R. Baker)At a time when Earth’s surface is changing rapidly, a geomorphology text centering on systems concepts, including interactions and adjustments, is especially timely. While grounded in key concepts of the discipline, this text prepares students for confronting new challenges ahead, including increasing human interactions in the “Anthropocene.”
(Anne Chin)Its focus is the core principles of geomorphology. It is an impressive survey of the philosophy and historiography of the discipline, with dense and readable introductions to topics as diverse as cycles, landforms, uniformitarianism, the Anthropocene, and geomorphic hazards... This thought-provoking book is an anchor for serious students who are seeking those skills, afloat in the internet age.

"A very readable and informative introduction to the discipline for senior undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers."
- Angela Gurnell, Queen Mary University of London
"Time will tell, but this book may well mark a turning point in the way students and scientists alike perceive Earth surface processes and landforms."
- Jonathan Phillips, University of Kentucky
Aligned with the teaching literature, this innovative text provides a fully-functioning learning environment for study, revision, and even self-directed research for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of geomorphology.
