Glacial geology. Ice sheets and landforms / Гляциология. Ледяные щиты и формы рельефа

In the preface for the First Edition of Glacial Geology we wrote that this book is the product of two things; an enthusiasm for glacial geology and a perceived need for a student text with which to stimulate this enthusiasm in others. Thirteen years on we still believe this to be the case. The First Edition has sold well and has been well-received by undergraduates studying the subject. In the First Edition of Glacial Geology we also wrote that the aim of the book is simple: to provide an account of glacial geology which is accessible to undergraduates and uncluttered from unnecessary detail. Although we have taken the opportunity to update and revise a lot of the content in this Second Edition, reflecting new developments in the subject, we have tried to stay true to this original aim. We hope you will still find this an accessible and helpful treatment of the subject and that by reading this book you will share some of our enthusiasm for glacial geology. <...>
