Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book's pioneering work on terrestrial morphology explores the causes of topographic features on the Earth's surface. Published in 1590, it's the first attempt to survey a global phenomenon with a cause-and-effect approach. The author's brilliant insights identify processes including sedimentation, erosion, climate, and tectonic movement as major factors in shaping our planet's contours.
