The shape of a coastline and the grind of a glacier are chapters in the same story. Marion Newbigin traces how erosion, ice, climate, and weather sculpt the surface we live on, and how geography grew into a modern science. Clear and wide-ranging, it connects mountains, rivers, and human life. See the planet as a work always in progress.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
