Description
Landscapes and Geomorphology: A Very Short Introduction by Andrew Goudie and Heather Viles provides an in-depth exploration of the natural world, examining how landscapes have developed over time and how they will change in the future. The authors draw on classic methods pioneered by 19th-century scientists to study the Earth's surface, using examples from around the globe to illustrate key controls on landscape, including tectonics, climate, and human activity. Through a combination of analysis and new ideas, Goudie and Viles shed light on the cultural importance of landscapes and how this has led to the conservation of much 'earth heritage'. The book also delves into the future, predicting how we can anticipate the response of landscapes to climate change. With its accessible approach and engaging perspective, Landscapes and Geomorphology is an ideal introduction to a fascinating subject. This book is part of the Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press, which offers hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
