From the jacket flap: "Time is a central feature of geomorphological research, and is used in this book to provide a conceptual framework within which to consider and compare old and new approaches to the field of geomorphology. The emphasis is on providing not merely a manual of current research but an introduction to isolate ideas and concepts, stimulate critical discussion and examine some of the problems that are involved in dealing with data.
"The authors discuss the main trends in research in the last fifty years and compare earlier qualitative methodological approaches with the process and field measurement techniques used mainly in the 1960s and with the significant developments that have taken place recently in analytical model-building. The scientific measurement of time is examined and part of the book deals with mathematical, deterministic and stochastic model-building to introduce the reader to recent conceptual advances and provide a basis for full discussion of factors relating to time in geomorphology.
"J. B. Thornes is Lecturer in Geography at the London School of Economics and D. Brunsden is Reader in Geography at King's College London."
