Tropical geomorphology. A study of weathering and landform development in warm climates / Тропическая геоморфология. Исследование выветривания и формирования рельефа в теплом климате

In the preparation of this book I have drawn upon the help of many people and institutions. Many of these have no direct connection with the writing of the book, but without their assistance, which made the necessary field experience possible, this study could not have been written.
Financial assistance and material help has been provided by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, which financed work in West Africa in 1967, and in Papua and New Guinea in 1970; by the University of Ibadan, which consistently supported my fieldwork in Nigeria; by the University of St Andrews, which has supported work overseas, and the University of New South Wales, which assisted in undertaking field work, in Australia. In addition I have received help in the field from the following: Associated Tin Mines of Nigeria Limited; Sierra Leone Development Company; Geological Survey of Nigeria; Australian National University; University of Queensland; and the James Cook University of North Queensland. <...>
