Geomorphology
by Arthur L. Bloom

Geomorphology is the scientific study of landscapes and the processes that shape them. The science of geomorphology has two major goals. One is to organize and systematize the description of landscapes by intellectually acceptable schemes of classification. The other is to recognize in landscapes evidence for changes in the processes that are shaping and have shaped them.

Surface Processes and Landforms
by Don J. Easterbrook

This book includes both basic material for students without a great deal of background in geology as well as more advanced topics. With coverage that reaches beyond the study of surface processes, it contains discussions on the evolution of landforms and interpretation of their origin. The Second Edition reflects the increasing relevance of geomorphology to environmental concerns and the additional emphasis this has placed on more applied aspects of the field. Also considered is the revolution of the discipline brought on by many rapidly-evolving tools, such as computers, sophisticated electronic measuring devices, lasers, mass spectrometers, new methods of dating landforms and deposits, and others.
