Provides readers with the fundamentals necessary for a basic understanding of the soil landscape. Divided into three major sections, it covers stratigraphy, geomorphology, hydrology, and the ways in which these geologic processes shape the landscape. Early chapters cover the textural characteristics of soil materials, fluvial systems, hillslope sediments and transitional environments. Later chapters explore volcanics, saprolite, the evolutionary process of landscapes, rates of denudation, streams, hillslope processes and mass movement. Included at the end of the chapters are lists of references, figures, tables and additional reading sources.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Geomorph Book,
By Tom Koler (Kelsey, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Soil Geomorphology (Hardcover)
This is a fairly comprehensive text that is useful for the professional as well as the graduate student interested in rounding out their personal library. I have used this book frequently over the past three years working on projects in the Pacific Northwest and California. The price is a bit high but worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars
poor book,
This review is from: Soil Geomorphology (Hardcover)
It is a very expensive book. It lacks the explanations of very good books like Factors of Soil Formation by Hans Jenny and Fluvial Processes in Geomorphology by Leopold and Wolman, which are excellent books and the prices are not so high. As a scientist I would not recommend the book to the students or the professionals.
