Author is Selby not sleby.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hillslope Materials and Processes (Paperback)
This book is an excellent overview of geomorphic processes on hillslopes. Great diagrams and clear discussions make this useful for both students and professionals in the field. Field techniques and instrumentation are described. Only downfall is that it lacks a glossary.
