Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media
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.
