Media reviews
The figures and the colour plates are excellent and of high quality. They are highly informative ... the author has succeeded in providing a comparatively homogenous and highly informative work on the geomorphology and climatic conditions of the warm deserts of the world. It is a most valuable treatment of these environmentally extraordinary regions. Plant Systematics and Evolution ... For those who have yet to discover the deserts ... I fully recommend it. The Holocene ... 24 colour plates illustrate both the stunning beauty and the diversity of desert landscapes ... engaging and well-written, with a large array of superbly drafted figures which will be of considerable value to those of us who teach desert geomorphology. The Holocene ... a useful addition to the existing literature. The Holocene ... a well-presented book, aimed principally at physical geographers and Earth scientists, with numerous maps, tables and illustrations. The Holocene This will be a standard work for many years to come; a reference book and a source of much interest, even enjoyment, to geomorphologists, desert travellers and naturalists worldwide.
