Landscapes and Geomorphology: A Very Short Introduction is a concise science book by Andrew Goudie and Heather Viles that introduces the study of landforms, Earth surface processes, and landscape change. Published in the Oxford Very Short Introductions series, it is written for readers who want an accessible but serious entry into geomorphology rather than a technical textbook. The book explains how landscapes are produced by interacting forces such as tectonic movement, climate, weathering, erosion, deposition, biological activity, and human intervention. It also places modern geomorphology in historical context, showing how nineteenth century field observation has been extended by newer tools, including remote sensing and global comparative analysis. Its purpose is not to catalogue every landform, but to teach readers how geomorphologists think about landscapes as dynamic systems. The result is a compact overview of why landscapes look as they do, how they record environmental history, and why they matter for society.
