Review

Finally, a book that lets you see what the professors were talking about in Geology 101. Crisp pictures from around the world make this book an eye-opening pleasure. This atlas provides a detailed look at a variety of geomorphological features. The chapters are organized according to the processes that create certain landforms. Tectonism, volcanism, eolian, fluvial, and several other processes are explored and their associated landforms are brought into sharp focus through pictures that detail almost any landform imaginable...The photography alone is worth the book's price. The atlas would be very useful as a resource in a high school science class and at the college level. It is a wonderful visual tour of the world and should be enjoyed as such...The pictures will fascinate [students] and lure them into the large world of geology. This atlas gets a definite 10.--David Brewer "The Science Teacher "
