​This hardback lavishly illustrated book is aimed at the reader with an interest in Scotland’s landforms rather than the academic. The author himself, in the introduction states that it aims to cover the middle ground between academic / professional scientific texts and “dumbed down” approaches. The introductory chapter includes a definition of the rather intimidating “geomorphology” term used in the book’s title, making it easy to appreciate it as a branch of the wider fields of geology and earth sciences. The introduction also takes the reader through the underlying geological processes and timescales used later in the book.
