| Summary: | First published in 1982, this remains a seminal work in geomorphology, a classic text. The reviews speak for themselves: "Rivers is undoubtedly one of the major contributions to the subject of fluvial geomorphology in the last decade. Keith Richards provides a detailed review of "the state of the art" in a field which has grown so much in recent years, that, on this basis alone, the book is a major achievement. It is an essential reference text for serious students and practitioners in geomorphology, sedimentology and river engineering." Sedimentology "In this book Keith Richards has assembled a wealth of information on the geomorphology of rivers.. (He) is to be congratulated on producing a thoroughly researched, up-to-date account of fluvial processes and landforms. This book will be a standard text for many years to come." Geography "This lucid and scholarly review will undoubtedly serve as an excellent advanced text for geomorphology courses and as a standard reference work for students in allied subjects." The Times Higher Education Supplement Keith Richards is Professor of Geography at the University of Cambridge |
