※上記表示の販売価格は割引適用後の価格です 未刊 ご予約承ります。 Title: Essentials of Geomorphology Author: Schaetzl, Randall (Michigan State University) / Marston, Richard (Kansas State University) Publisher: Cambridge University Press ISBN: 9781108748728 Cover: PAPERBACK Date: 2025年10月 DESCRIPTION Essentials of Geomorphology is an introductory textbook covering the latest research on landforms, both on Earth as well as on planets and moons. This easy-to-read, non-quantitative textbook hones in on the knowledge of leading experts in the field, and presents the practicality, applications and necessity of geomorphology. Replete with beautiful color figures and photographs, it contains in-depth discussions on fluvial and glacial geomorphology while also covering topics such as planetary geomorphology, biogeomorphology, Earth history and climate change, and periglacial systems. Descriptive, but also process-driven, it is intended for readers interested in physical landscapes, regardless of their previous background or level of training in geography or geology. To this end, it only includes the basic mathematics needed to understand the concepts presented. * Covers a wide range of topics, such as Biogeomorphology and Planetary Geology * Written in plain, readable language that is easy to absorb, making it suitable for an introductory to intermediate audience. Includes a helpful glossary of key terms and definitions * Includes some quantitative material for the more advanced students, providing a balanced approach * Written by well-regarded researchers and experts with in-depth knowledge of their disciplines, ensuring high-quality, authoritative content * Beautiful figures and images that will entice students, enhancing understanding TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements Preface 1.
