Using as its central theme the functional interdependence of form, material, and process, Introduction to Geomorphology is an essential tool for a comprehensive understanding of the subject. It presents and explains the science of landforms, linking empirical results with theoretical models of
landform development. The book includes a wide range of examples from around the world, together with a superb collection of photographs, maps, and diagrams.

This book is an introduction to geomorphology. It presents and explains the forms of the earth's land surface--valleys, mountains, slopes and plains--their origins and further development through the work of movements of the earth's crust, volcanism, weathering and erosion by streams, glacier ice, winds and coastal waves and currents.
Frank Ahnert, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography, RWTH Technical University, Aachen.
