Description
Book SynopsisThis fully-revised comprehensive fourth edition covers the whole field of physical geography including climate and atmosphere, geomorphology, biogeography, hydrology, oceans, Quaternary, environmental change, soils, remote sensing and GIS.
Trade Review"There are other dictionaries available, but they do not have the breadth of information that this
Dictionary contains, with the additional tables, charts, reading and companion website. The
Dictionary of Physical Geography is a good general resource for multiple levels of researchers at the
university level. It is clear, concise and easy to use and follow. Users will be able to find definitions
for various terms, links or resources to other help and quickly move on to other research"
