"Geomorphological landforms and processes exert a strong influence on surface engineering works, yet comparatively little systematic information on geomorphology is available to engineers. This book presents a comprehensive worldwide view of geomorphology for engineers and other professionals on the near-surface engineering problems associated with the various landscapes. This new and completely revised edition has additional chapters dealing with topics of vital current interest in an attractive format and is broadly divided into three parts." "The book forms an outstanding work of practical value and reference for practitioners and academics in civil, geotechnical, foundation engineering, soil and rock mechanics, and engineering geology; practitioners, postgraduate and advanced undergraduates in geomorphology, civil engineering (including road and rail construction, river, canal and coastal engineering), geohydrology; and practising physical geographers and geologists and postgraduates in these disciplines."--Jacket
