The range of the book is unusually broad, encompassing hillslope, valley floor and floodplain, fluvial, estuarine and coastal processes.

The expert contributors to this cutting edge volume provide an overview of geomorphological process activity and landscape change in Britain over the past 1000 years. The range of the book is unusually broad, encompassing hillslope, valley floor and floodplain, fluvial, estuarine and coastal processes. The relevance of technological and conceptual approaches to understanding landscape dynamics is also considered.

David Higgitt's introduction looks at the nature of environmental change during the last millennium and assesses the significance of individual events. The body of the book is formed by an examination of key process environments highlighting significant trends and the influence of human activity, and incorporating examples and modelling.

The editors' closing chapter then summarises the significance of human impact on the environment, the nature of the evidence for geomorphological change and its implication for environmental management and engineering design.

The book will encourage geographers to look forward to the challenges that geomorphology faces in the new millennium.
