The figures and the colour plates are excellent and of high quality. They are highly informative ... the author has succeeded in providing a comparatively homogenous and highly informative work on the geomorphology and climatic conditions of the warm deserts of the world. It is a most valuable treatment of these environmentally extraordinary regions.

Plant Systematics and Evolution

... For those who have yet to discover the deserts ... I fully recommend it.

The Holocene

... 24 colour plates illustrate both the stunning beauty and the diversity of desert landscapes ... engaging and well-written, with a large array of superbly drafted figures which will be of considerable value to those of us who teach desert geomorphology.

The Holocene

Se alle

... a useful addition to the existing literature.

The Holocene

... a well-presented book, aimed principally at physical geographers and Earth scientists, with numerous maps, tables and illustrations.

The Holocene

This will be a standard work for many years to come; a reference book and a source of much interest, even enjoyment, to geomorphologists, desert travellers and naturalists worldwide.

Geography

This is the first-ever regional study of the geomorphology of the world's deserts, demonstrating why different deserts have special landscape features and land-forming processes. It explains the climatic and tectonic history of deserts, showing how the histories of the deserts have been long and complex, and how they have responded to global changes in climate, particularly over the course of the last few millions of years. Each of the major warm deserts of the world is treated in detail, and the book is extensively illustrated with numerous plates and figures. A large and comprehensive bibliography provides a guide to the international literature.

A survey of the nature and history of the landscapes of the world's great warm deserts, that illustrates how their distinctive features have developed in response to major climatic and tectonic changes over millions of years. The treatment is a regional one, and each of the world's major warm deserts has its own chapter. Written by a leading expert in the field.
