Críticas
Anyone who has tried to describe to students the landforms that exist throughout the world has probably struggled to find suitable pictures of their features and to explain the processes of their formation. This volume uses textual descriptions, diagrams, and striking photographic plates to present a survey of some of the world's most important geomorphological processes and forms...Although the discussions of the geomorphological processes are very well done, the color plates are the best part of the book. Each picture is of good quality and is accompanied by text describing it. This book is a striking visual introduction to landforms and landscapes that result when internal (geologic) and external (climatic) forces interact at the Earth's surface. A photo alum, it contains over 200 breathtaking color photographs, representing more than 50 countries on all continents (except Antarctica) and several oceanic islands. Finally, a book that lets you see what the professors were talking about in Geology 101. Crisp pictures from around the world make this book an eye-opening pleasure. This atlas provides a detailed look at a variety of geomorphological features. The chapters are organized according to the processes that create certain landforms. Tectonism, volcanism, eolian, fluvial, and several other processes are explored and their associated landforms are brought into sharp focus through pictures that detail almost any landform imaginable...The photography alone is worth the book's price. The atlas would be very useful as a resource in a high school science class and at the college level. It is a wonderful visual tour of the world and should be enjoyed as such...The pictures will fascinate [students] and lure them into the large world of geology. This atlas gets a definite 10.--David Brewer "The Science Teacher " This thin, serious volume by a reflective globetrotter from Tubingen arrays more than 200 small, sharp photographs that he himself has taken on all continents save icebound Antarctica and on many a remote island as well...With each scene, he includes a thoughtful paragraph to explain the nature and origin of the visible landform...You will inspect a tapestry of sere red deserts, storm-cut white sea-cliffs, fertile green valleys, even wide pits opened dark and deep to mine Mesabi ore.--Philip Morrison "Scientific American "
Reseña del editor
This color atlas describes the manifold landforms of the earth's surface and explains how they evolved. The author has selected photos from all over the world in order to achieve a rather complete and systematic survey. In general as well as in explaining photos, the text is both concise and easily readable even for the general reader looking for information on landforms, morphodynamic processes, and also for explanation of geomorphic terms. Text, figures, and photos are arranged in a most didactic way so that the color atlas may serve as an introduction to the subject of geomorphology.
