Editorial Review:
This study presents an engaging and comprehensive introduction to geomorphology, exploring the world's landforms from a systems perspective, with an emphasis on change. The rich variety of landforms found on the Earth's surface are described and discussed, paying attention to the roles of geomorphic processes and historical events in understanding their development and to how particular processes affect humans.

An impact is missing for the tenderfoot. 2003-01-13
I love Huggett's work in physical geography. But check out these 3 others--Geoecology, Environmental Change, and Catastrophism --and ask yourself, as you read Geomorphology, why a geographer like Huggett would write extensively about impact craters as fundamental surface features of the earth and destroyers of biota(in the 3 books mentioned above) yet chose NOT to include a chapter on this important topic for introductory geomorphology students. Even Lobeck covered meteor craters in the final chapter of his '39 text. Tectonics has permeated geomorphological writings and Huggett introduces this topic well, but impact cratering continues to be covered by geologists and earth systems researchers rather than geomorphologists (who probably would like to deny the existence of these landforms). Still, Huggett is a geographer who knows better. Geomorphology (and the field of physical geography in general according to Olav Slaymaker) needs to be connected to global environmental change research efforts addressed by geographers. Huggett could've been the guy to make this connection too, but failed to do so in this book. With this said, I still gave the book 4 stars-- Huggett is an eclectic geographer who only gets better.
