Climatic geomorphology / Климатическая геоморфология

Climatic Geomorphology constitutes a new look at a fairly old subject that has been largely ignored in other more recent trends in the field, particularly in much process geomorphology. But now Mateo Guti6rrez, well-known Professor of Geomorphology at the University of Zaragoza in northeast Spain, has presented us with this new volume, translated into English by ten of his colleagues. We are fortunate indeed to have his authoritative writing and artful photography of so many parts of the world to grace our understanding of landform character and evolution. Originally published in Spanish in 2001, this volume attracted the notice of many other geoscientists and was reviewed quite favourably in more than five of our main journals of geomorphology, physical geography, and environmental geology. The uniform praise led to suggestions that a translation into English might be warranted, with the results that you now see before you. The relative lack of such modem and well-illustrated texts devoted to climatic geomorphology in the English language indicates that this new book is a deserving addition to the literature. <...>
