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.

Review
"Intended for use by Canadian undergraduate students, this textbook introduces the topics central to the study of geomorphology-including weathering, soils, slopes, glacial processes, streams, coastlines, and karst. These concepts are illustrated with the aid of 180 figures and numerous Canadian examples set within an international context. Trenhaile teaches earth sciences at the University of Windsor." --SciTech Book News
