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" Victoria Lynn Packard, Texas A&M University on behalf of Reference Reviews, Sept 2017
