Geomorphology has changed from being a descriptive and qualitative discipline and is now driven by a quantitative, process-based approach. Existing textbooks tend to fall into two categories: descriptive (traditional) general geomorphology/physical geography books and more specialised and mathematical treatments of particular processes (such as hydraulics, or physical glaciology). The former are insufficiently quantitative; the latter usually too mathematical for the majority of geography undergraduates. "The Science of Landscape" will provide a rigorous, quantitative approach to the whole of geomorphology, but will introduce the necessary mathematics carefully by introducing simple principles then carefully building up to more complex examples.
