Regional Geomorphology of the United States by Thornbury, William D - 1967

New York: John Wiley & Sons. Very Good. 1967. Hardcover. Third Printing. From the preface, "For many years, in the United States, the study of the origins of land forms has been called geomorphology, whereas discussion of the regional distribution and the geomorphic histories of landscapes has been called physiography. It seems to me that this inconsistency should be eliminated, and with this idea in mind the present book is entitled Regional Geomorphology of the United States." Ships same or next business day.
