The History of the Study of Landforms - Volume 3 cover

This volume provides a global treatment of historical and regional geomorphic work as it developed from the end of the nineteenth century to the hiatus of the Second World War. The book deals with the burgeoning of the eustatic theory, the concepts of isostasy and epeirogeny, and the first complete statements of the cycle of erosion and of polycyclic denudation chronology.

`Beckinsale and Chorley have accomplished the third stroke of a masterwork. There is plenty to read and ponder as the fourth volume is awaited.' - Geographical Review

`This is a story deserving of telling, and the authors are to be commended for taking on such a Herculean task. This book is truly a gold mineof historical information about the science of geomorphology.' - Geomorphology
