Desert Geomorphology

Written by three of the world's leading experts and based on over sixty years of research between them, this masterly treatment of desert landforms and processes provides a comprehensive text and a baseline for future research. It not only provides a complete account of desert geomorphology but also explores the ways in which such work can be successfully applied to environmental problems in deserts. Desert geomorphology is organized into six major parts: global perspectives; desert surface conditions; the fluvial domain in deserts; wind in desert geomorphology, aeolian sediments and landforms; and finally, the evolution of desert landforms, which provides a worldwide regional review. Lavishly illustrated with over 400 line-drawings and nearly 100 photographs, this definitive text also provides a bibliography citing over 2,500 works, mainly in English, French and German. As the successor to the classic Geomorphology in deserts, will written by Ron Cooke and Andrew Warren and first published in 1973, Desertgeomorphology will be essential reading for all students of Earth science with an interest in desert environments.Cooke is the author of 'Desert Geomorphology' with ISBN 9781857280173 and ISBN 1857280172.
