The Pike's Peak Nugget, 1909, Vol. 10 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Pike's Peak Nugget, 1909, Vol. 10 But Ihave to write it. We are in duty bound to confess our thanks to all those who have aided us. We do so humbly and regretfully. 'we give no names, for we wish to incriminate no one. Whenever no possible harm could come of an article, we have printed the author's name with it, provided the article Was in nowise an advertisement and the author was willing. We also have to thank all the Annuals ever published. We have not seen them all, but we'hav'e seen enough to know that between them they have.' In other Words, this book is not original. Annuals never are. This one looks very much like the palm -covered journal in which Noah kept account of his companions on that eventful voyage years ago. Books of this sort are all alike. Read one and you have read them all. Edit one and you will never edit another. Nobody will let you. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Fundamentals of Geomorphology


Book Description

This extensively revised, restructured, and updated edition continues to present an engaging and comprehensive introduction to the subject, exploring the world’s landforms from a broad systems perspective. It covers the basics of Earth surface forms and processes, while reflecting on the latest developments in the field. Fundamentals of Geomorphology begins with a consideration of the nature of geomorphology, process and form, history, and geomorphic systems, and moves on to discuss: structure: structural landforms associated with plate tectonics and those associated with volcanoes, impact craters, and folds, faults, and joints process and form: landforms resulting from, or influenced by, the exogenic agencies of weathering, running water, flowing ice and meltwater, ground ice and frost, the wind, and the sea; landforms developed on limestone; and landscape evolution, a discussion of ancient landforms, including palaeosurfaces, stagnant landscape features, and evolutionary aspects of landscape change. This third edition has been fully updated to include a clearer initial explanation of the nature of geomorphology, of land surface process and form, and of land-surface change over different timescales. The text has been restructured to incorporate information on geomorphic materials and processes at more suitable points in the book. Finally, historical geomorphology has been integrated throughout the text to reflect the importance of history in all aspects of geomorphology. Fundamentals of Geomorphology provides a stimulating and innovative perspective on the key topics and debates within the field of geomorphology. Written in an accessible and lively manner, it includes guides to further reading, chapter summaries, and an extensive glossary of key terms. The book is also illustrated throughout with over 200 informative diagrams and attractive photographs, all in colour.
