"I would highly recommend this text to both students and academics—I will certainly be adding it to my class reading lists." (Geographical Journal, 2009)
"This volume provides an excellent introduction to the subject for
any undergraduate or taught postgraduate undertaking courses in
geomorphology, weathering and soil processes, dryland geomorphology
or palaeoenvironmental change and will be a key text for any
scientist who is actively researching in the field. It is likely to
become an indispensable volume for libraries and academic
bookshelves anywhere that geography, earth and environmental
sciences are taught."
–Ian Candy, Royal Holloway, University of
London
"Geochemical Sediments and Landscapes is the
long–anticipated update of the quarter century old
Chemical Sediments and Geomorphology. It consists of
fourteen clearly written, concise, up-to-date discussions of the
nature, age and genesis of the major groups of chemical sediments
by the leading researchers in the field. It addresses contemporary
issues of landscape evolution, environmental change and mineral
resource exploration. This is a 'must-have' book for all earth
scientists interested in the relationships between chemical
precipitates and landscape evolution. The book represents a
substantial and significant contribution to our understanding of
earth surface processes and as such is a valuable addition to the
literature of geomorphologies, hydrologists, sedimentologists,
geochemists and soil scientists."
