Sommario/riassunto

Written by a team of international experts, this book is divided into three sections, which consider historical, functional, and applied mountain geomorphology from both global and local perspectives. The historical perspective focuses on the formation of landforms, the functional emphasizes the interaction between processes and landforms, and the applied concerns the interrelationships between geomorphological processes and society. This will be a valuable source of information for interested readers at all levels.
