This book's contention is that the landforms of most of the earth's surface are very much older than is conventionally believed. Because most geomorphology has been studied in North West Europe and North America, both much modified by glaciation only 10 thousand years ago, geomorphological processes have been conceived on a short time scale of thousands of years. The author argues with examples from around the world that the correct time scale is tens of millions of years. This shift of focus has revolutionary implications for the study of landform, and earth science in general.
