McKnight’s Physical Geography: A Landscape Appreciation presents the concepts of physical geography in a clear, readable way to help readers comprehend Earth’s physical landscape. The time-proven approach to physical geography first presented by Tom McKnight over 35 years ago now has a new focus in the 13th Edition – the parks, monuments, seashores, and recreational areas that comprise this country’s National Park system serve as a source of inspiration for anyone interested in experiencing natural landscapes. They also provide the perfect introduction to topics that range from Earth’s physical features and the processes that form them, to the opportunities they provide for scientific research, and offer a lens through which to view climate change.
