"Global analysis of landforms of deserts and the processes that mould them, for advanced
students and researchers"-- ; "Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew
Goudie, this volume provides a state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of
desert geomorphology. It presents a truly international perspective, with examples
from all over the world. Extensively referenced and illustrated, it covers such topics
as the importance of past climatic changes, the variability of different desert environments,
rock breakdown, wind erosion and dust storm generation, sand dunes, fluvial and slope
forms and processes, the role of the applied geomorphologist in desert development
and conservation, and the Earth as an analogue for other planetary bodies. This book
is destined to become the classic volume on arid and semi-arid geomorphology for advanced
students and researchers in physical geography, geomorphology, Earth science, sedimentology,
environmental science, and archaeology"--
