Omschrijving
This is the only book to focus on the geomorphological landscapes of Canada West. One of the curiosities of Canada West is the presence of volcanic landforms, extruded through the ice cover of the late Pleistocene and Holocene epochs, which have also left a strong imprint on the landscape.
“Wherever you are in western Canada, this book has something to offer you, something to teach you about the landscapes you live among or are driving through on a summer adventure. … The book is filled with hundreds of maps, graphs, and photographs, which really help to bring the stories to the reader. … this book is a must-have for anyone who is enthusiastic about learning the stories behind the landscapes around them.” (Syd Cannings, bcbooklook.com, September, 2018)
