Allgemeine geomorphologie. Methoden, Grundvorstellungen und Ausblick in landschafthaushalt by Hanna Bremer

Abstract

As the author states, this book is a long work initiated 20 years ago, motivated by the considerable amount of tyxtbooks concerning geomorphological subjects, principally those carried out by German and English-speaking geomorphologists. In spite of its title ("General Geomorphology, Methods, principles and perspectives on landscape evaluation", the book is focused on subjects related to climatic and climatogenetic geomorphology. The work is devoted basically to theoretical análisis and criticism with regard to geomorphological methods, concepts and models. The subject is treated systematically, starting from particular approaches and concepts to reach a conception of relief in a landscape. The particular and earlier models are first considered as a background of contemporary climatic and climatogenetic geomorphology; new perspectives are suggested.
