Geomorphology has changed from being a descriptive and qualitative discipline and is now driven by a quantitative, process-based approach.Existing textbooks tend to fall into two categories: descriptive (traditional) general geomorphology/physical geography books and more specialised and mathematical treatments of particular processes (such as hydraulics, or physical glaciology). The former are insufficiently quantitative; the latter usually too mathematical for the majority of geography undergraduates.The Science of Landscape will provide a rigorous, quantitative approach to the whole of geomorphology, but will introduce the necessary mathematics carefully by introducing simple principles then carefully building up to more complex examples.Parsons, Anthony J. is the author of 'The Science of Landscape: Process and Form in Geomorphology', published 2007 under ISBN 9780632055357 and ISBN 0632055359.
