Biography
Richard Huggett is Honorary Research Fellow in Physical Geography at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom.
Emma Shuttleworth is a Lecturer in Physical Geography at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom.
Fundamentals of Geomorphology is notable for its breadth, its international perspective, its clarity of expression and the excellence of its illustrative material. This new edition also reflects important new developments in the discipline with its treatment of the Anthropocene and of Planetary Landscapes. It also reflects the growing importance of digital resources as aids to teaching and comprehension.
Andrew Goudie, University of Oxford, UK.
Richard Huggett is a master of synthesis in the geosciences, and it shows (again) in this edition of the book with Emma Shuttleworth. No other text covers geomorphology as thoroughly but concisely or does as well by mainstream and traditional conepts as well as cutting-edge ideas.
Jonathan Phillips, Professor (emeritus) of Earth Surface Systems, University of Kentucky, USA.
