This vintage paperback offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of environmental geomorphology, a field that examines the interactions between the Earth’s landforms and the environment. Edited by Donald R. Coates, this compilation of proceedings from the 1st Annual Geomorphology Symposia series held in Binghamton, New York, in 1970 captures the cutting-edge research and discussions of the time. As one of the earliest publications dedicated to this emerging discipline, it provides a valuable historical perspective on the development of environmental geomorphology and its role in understanding the complex interplay between natural and human-induced processes shaping our planet’s landscapes.
While the book’s physical condition shows signs of age and use, its content remains a treasure trove for collectors and scholars interested in the evolution of environmental sciences. The unmarked interior pages, despite some wear, ensure that the valuable insights and data presented by the contributors remain intact. This volume stands as a testament to the pioneering efforts of researchers who recognized the importance of studying the Earth’s dynamic landscapes through an environmental lens, paving the way for future advancements in the field.
