Description - Science of Landscape by Anthony Parsons
Geomorphology has changed from being a descriptive and qualitative
discipline and is now driven by a quantitative, process-based
approach.
Existing textbooks tend to fall into two categories: descriptive
(traditional) general geomorphology/physical geography books and
more specialised and mathematical treatments of particular
processes (such as hydraulics, or physical glaciology). The former
are insufficiently quantitative; the latter usually too
mathematical for the majority of geography undergraduates.
The Science of Landscape will provide a rigorous, quantitative
approach to the whole of geomorphology, but will introduce the
necessary mathematics carefully by introducing simple principles
then carefully building up to more complex examples.
