Media Reviews
Andrew Goudie has drawn on his wide experience to produce an up--to--date, accessible and comprehensive introduction to physical geography. Throughout the book, the issue of scale is emphasized -- from global to local. Human impact on earth surface systems is another important and topical theme. This is an excellent book, elegantly written, which will appeal to a wide variety of readers. Professor Tim Burt, University of Durham This classic text is now in its fourth edition ... the text excels in presenting classification schemes. Scottish Geographical Journal
