There are numerous definitions, but the book is far more than a glossary. There are 410 articles in all, and their authors include many specialists of international reputation. The hundreds of illustrations are an exceptional feature of the book..While covering the usual scope of Geomorphology, this volume includes several features which are particularly noteworthy. One of these is an individual description of each of the world‘s more important lakes emphasizing their geographic unity. Stress has also been placed on the stratigraphy and climate of the Holocene, or Recent Epoch, and of the Quaternary Period in general, on the grounds that a historical understanding of those periods explains the inheritance aspect of landforms. The editor has recognized the need for balancing the presentation between the more classical or descriptive methodology and the more recent quantitative and dynamic approach..Also, | 出版日期 | Reference work 1997 | 关键词 | aspect; erosion; geography; geology; Geomorphology; geoscience; morphology; stratigraphy; subject; Wörter | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-31060-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-31060-0Series ISSN 1388-4360 Series E-ISSN 1871-756X | issn_series | 1388-4360 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1997 |
