商品簡介
In this reprint of a 1982 work, Richards (geography, University of Cambridge) details what was known then about the geomorphology of rivers, fluvial processes, and landforms. Chapters cover environmental controls of the river channel, the mechanics of flow and initiation of sediment transport, sediment transport processes, channel-forming events, the morphology of river cross-sections, and channel management and design. A few b&w photos are included. The book is for students and practitioners in geomorphology, sedimentology, and river engineering. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
