  The landscape of England and Wales is full of variety, a type of landscape unparalleled anywhere else in the world. In this comprehensive study Andrew Goudie gives an account of how and why such a complexity of land forms evolved, under the pressure of natural influences since prehistoric times and under the ever-increasing impact of human activities which have disturbed the environmental balance of both our land and sky. This book, illustrated throughout, offers an up-to-date account of the physical geography of England and Wales. It covers the geomorphology and geology of the area, showing how they are interrelated.
