With more Canadian content than any competing text, Geomorphology: A Canadian Perspective 3/e is the essential text for undergraduate Geography and Earth Sciences students. Relevant to students in both introductory and upper-level courses, this comprehensive text provides outstanding coverage of the scientific study of landforms, landscapes, and Earth-surface processes. A two-pronged analytical study of geomorphology-focusing on both process and history-the third edition of this respected text engages student readers in a straightforward discussion of the material. Specific chapters focus on such topics as weathering, slope movement, glaciers, wind and water transport, coastlines, karst, and the human dimensions of landform change and formation. Particular attention is also paid to the methodological history of geomorphology and the unique physical landscape of Canada.
