Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Physical Geography of South America presents an enduring statement of the continent's fascinating environments. Written by international specialists, it addresses themes ranging from tectonism and climate change to biotoc endemism; analyses specific regions from the Amazon forests to the Patagonian steppes; and evaluates human impacts on the environment over time. |
