This new text for junior and senior students presents a systematic explanation of Canada's landforms, with particular reference to its unique legacy of glacial and periglacial activity. Individual chapters discuss such topics as weathering, mass movement, rivers, coastlines, and karst. Over 100 charts and graphs are included.

The Geomorphology of Canada: An Introduction

Oxford University Press

This is a comprehensive text designed for use by undergraduate students at a variety of levels. Although it has a very strong emphasis on Canadian topics and examples, the material will interest a wide range of geomorphologists; it gives extensive coverage of coral, mangrove, and tropical karst, for example. Some chapters, though too advanced for some students, will prove ideal for exposing undergraduates to scientific aspects of process geomorphology. The book includes an extensive glossary and an up-to-date list of references.

Geomorphology: A Canadian Perspective

Geomorphology: A Canadian Perspective, 2e brings a wealth of Canadian examples to bear on the scientific study of landforms, landscapes, and Earth-surface processes. This comprehensive text introduces students to the two-pronged analytical study of geomorphology: process and history. Chapters include discussions of weathering, slope movement, glaciers, wind and water transport, coastlines, karst, and the human dimensions of landform change and formation.

Science & Math

Earth Sciences

With more Canadian content than any competing text, Geomorphology: A Canadian Perspective, 3e 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.

This is a comprehensive reference text for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and instructors and working professionals in the coastal field. It provides a thorough survey of our present state of geomorphological knowledge across a very broad spectrum of coastal types, including topics, such as the form and processes operating on cold coasts, deltas, cohesive cold coasts, and coral reefs, that have rarely been included in general coastal texts. There is also a detailed discussion of the nature, origin, and transport of beach sediment, and the possible effects of future sea-level changes on coastal environments. Anthropological influences and managerial implications are discussed in several of the chapters. All the material draws upon up-to-date research and scientific findings.

'Geomorphology' is designed for use by undergraduate students. Whilst it emphasises Canadian topics and examples, the material is not exclusively Canadian. The author includes coral, mangrove and tropical karst as examples outwith a Canadian context.
