on four decades of research by Professor Andrew S. Goudie, this volume
■.у.-:·:·-* ·*·.·-

-M-f
I»!provides
a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorpholo-
gy. It presents a truly international perspective, with examples from all over the world.
Extensively referenced and illustrated, it covers such topics as the importance of past
climatic changes, the variability of different desert environments, rock breakdown, wind
erosion and dust storm generation, sand dunes, fluvial and slope forms and processes, the
role of the applied geomorphologist in desert development and conservation and the Earth
as an analogue for other planetary bodies.
This book is destined to become the classic volume on arid and semi-arid geomorphol-
ogy for advanced students and researchers in physical geography, geomorphology, Earth
science, sedimentology, environmental science and archaeology.
