The book treats the systematic geomorphology of landscapes. After a short general introduction which deals with the fundamental principles of landscape evolution, the types of landscape features encountered on the globe are taxonomically classified and pictorially presented. Examples illustrating the structural (tectonic) and petrological background of landscape evolution are shown. The phenomenology of slope evolution, of fluvial features, of the ocean-land system, of glacial forms, of deserts and of volcanic landscapes are then illustrated. The book is thus essentially an atlas of landscape types, which are taxonomically classified and pictorially presented, and contains 251 pictures taken by the author on five continents. The book represents an entirely novel compilation of systematic geomorphology which is fundamental to geography, geology, and ecology.
