This color atlas describes the manifold landforms of the earth"s surface and explains how they evolved. The author has selected photos from all over the world in order to achieve a rather complete and systematic survey. In general as well as in explaining photos, the text is both concise and easily readable even for the general reader looking for information on landforms, morphodynamic processes, and also for explanation of geomorphic terms. Text, figures, and photos are arranged in a most didactic way so that the color atlas may serve as an introduction to the subject of geomorphology.
