This review is from: Introducing Physical Geography (Paperback)

There are famous researchers in any field of sceince. These two authors are just that in physical geography. I read this book for about six years while slowly studying the subject part-time. All the terminology is there with good diagrams and good maps. I think it is an affective introduction to the advanced reading yet is complete enough to be your only book on the subject too.
