Recenzii
"the textbook provides an excellent synthesis of current knowledge on the geomorphology of tropics, with numerous examples and good illustrations. The textbook will undoubtedly become an essential reference for researchers and graduate students interested in tropics. The book would also serve as very useful text for other disciplines, particularly the field sciences such as ecology, archaeology, environmental sciences and forestry." - Vishwas S. Kale, Journal of the Geological Society of India January 2012
