Description

This comprehensive introduction to Earth-surface processes and landforms is the most current and relevant treatment of geomorphology available to Canadian students. While broad historical and contemporary discussions offer a solid foundation, coverage of fascinating topics such as biogeomorphology, cryogenic weathering, and landscape management and restoration provides a deeper level of insight. With over 100 new images throughout, this extensively revised edition continues to focus on practical research applications and is filled with Canadian examples.
