Opis

This book is intended for students who approach the study of hillslopes, and the rocks and soils on which they develop, from such traditional disciplines as geomorphology, geology, engineering, and soil science. The text attempts to integrate the relevant subject matter from these disciplines from the point of view of an earth scientist.

Recenzje

'The book covers the large and complex topic in a most comprehensive manner. It includes the main aspects of information on hillslopes, together with a very valuable and full set of references and other indications of where the reader can go for further information. A factor that distinguishes this work is the strongly interdisciplinary approach that permeates the text and is made explicit at the end of the book. This is of great value and is one which readers of whatever level will find thought-provoking, stimulating and rewarding ... this book is written in a clear, uncluttered English style that is easy to read and carries the reader forward from chapter to chapter.'
