Summary: Savindra Singh's "Geomorphology" is a comprehensive text that delves into the intricate processes shaping Earth's surface. The book offers a lucid exploration of fundamental concepts, theories, and regional variations in geomorphic processes. From the Earth's interior to the dynamic interplay of climate and landforms, the author presents a well-structured and informative overview. The inclusion of applied geomorphology and anthropogenic impacts adds contemporary relevance to the text. While the book's depth may be ideal for advanced students and researchers, its clear explanations and illustrative diagrams make it accessible to a broader audience.
