How will global environmental change affect the landscape and our interaction with it? Apart from climate change, there are other important catalysts of landscape change, including relief, hydroclimate and runoff, sea level variations and human activity. This volume summarises the state-of-the-art concerning the geomorphic implications of global environmental change, analysing such effects on lakes, rivers, coasts, reefs, rainforests, savannas, deserts, glacial features, and mountains. Providing a benchmark statement from the world’s leading geomorphologists on the current state of, and potential changes to, the environment, this book is invaluable for advanced courses on geomorphology and environmental science, and as a reference for research scientists. Interdisciplinary in scope, with a primary audience of Earth and environmental scientists, geographers, geomorphologists and ecologists, it also has a wider reach to those concerned with the social, economic and political issues raised by global environmental change, and is useful to policy makers and environmental managers.

Megaflooding on Earth and Mars Edited by Devon Burr University of Arizona

Paul Carling University of Southampton

and Vic Baker University of Arizona

Megaflooding is the sudden discharge of exceptional volumes of water. Megafloods have significantly altered the terrain of Earth and Mars, and may have acted as triggers for climate change on these planets. Recently, research into megaflooding has made important advances: on Earth, real-time measurements of contemporary floods in Iceland complement research into older and larger terrestrial floods, while on Mars terabytes of data from several spacecraft orbiting that planet are dramatically revising our view of flooding there. Beginning with a historical overview of flood science, the book presents sections on morphology and mechanisms, flood sedimentology, and modelling, each illustrated with examples from Earth and Mars. By juxtaposing terrestrial and Martian research, this volume creates a unique synthesis to further our understanding of these enormous paleoflood events. It is an invaluable reference for researchers and students of hydrology, geomorphology, sedimentology and planetary science, as well as environmental and hydraulic engineers. 2009 276 x 219 mm 368pp 57 halftones 32 plates 12 tables 978-0-521-86852-5 Hardback c. £80.00 Publication September 2009

Palaeontology Textbook

Dinosaurs A Concise Natural History David E. Fastovsky University of Rhode Island

and David B. Weishampel The Johns Hopkins University

From the authors of The Evolution and Extinction of the Dinosaurs, comes a general introduction to the study of dinosaurs for non-specialists, designed to excite readers about science by using the ever-popular animals – the dinosaurs – to illustrate and discuss geology, natural history and evolution. While it focuses on dinosaurs, it also uses them to convey other aspects of the natural sciences, including fundamental concepts in evolutionary biology, physiology, life history, and systematics. Considerable attention is devoted the nature of science itself: what it is, what it is not, and how science can be used to investigate particular kinds of questions. Dinosaurs is unique because it fills a gap between the glossy, fact-driven dinosaur books for younger readers, and the higher-level academic books, addressing the palaeontology of dinosaurs exactly as professionals in the field do. ‘Well written … the author’s sense of humor makes it enjoyable to read; it summarizes most of the important topics in dinosaur paleontology using current information.’ Carol Waddell-Sheets, Canisius College

The Evolution and Extinction of the Dinosaurs Second edition David E. Fastovsky University of Rhode Island

and David B. Weishampel The Johns Hopkins University

Illustrated by John Sibbick

This is a comprehensive student textbook on dinosaurs that nonspecialists will also find fascinating. It is the only comprehensive text that takes an explicitly phylogenetic approach to dinosaurs. The geological context of dinosaurs is also stressed, and dinosaurs are presented in the context of contemporary plate tectonic and climatic settings. From reviews of the previous edition: ‘The book amply fulfils its objective of providing an authoritative, stimulating and lively introduction to dinosaurs. There are not many textbooks to which the epithets ‘lively‘ and ‘entertaining‘ apply, and that are friendly enough for a general reader … I can also warmly recommend it to interested general readers as the best available and thoroughly accessible account of dinosaurs and how they fit in with current scientific thinking – with the bonus that it presents the facts in an exciting manner, while dispelling the hype.‘ Angela Milner, New Scientist

This is the first complete account of the physics of the creep and fracture of ice, and their interconnectivity. It investigates the deformation of low-pressure ice, which is fundamental to glaciers, polar ice sheets and the uppermost region of icy moons of the outer Solar System. The book discusses ice structure and its defects, and describes the relationship between structure and mechanical properties. It reviews observations and measurements, and then interprets them in terms of physical mechanisms. The book provides a road-map to future studies of ice mechanics, such as the behaviour of glaciers and ice sheets in relation to climate change and the dating of deep ice cores. It also highlights how this knowledge is transferable into an understanding of other crystalline materials. Written by experts in the field, it is ideal for graduate students, engineers and scientists in Earth and planetary science, and materials science. 2009 247 x 174 mm 432pp 145 halftones 978-0-521-80620-6 Hardback c. £65.00 Publication May 2009

New Theory of the Earth Second edition Don L. Anderson California Institute of Technology

This interdisciplinary advanced textbook on the origin, composition, and evolution of Earth’s interior provides a complete update of Anderson’s Theory of the Earth, including many new sections, figures and tables. This stimulating textbook can be used on a wide range of advanced courses, and is an essential resource for researchers. From reviews of the previous edition, Theory of the Earth: ‘Any scientist today who takes on the task of trying to integrate the mass of diverse observations about Earth into a coherent model is courageous.
