"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
