The book deals with the most striking landscapes and landforms of Italy. Attention is given
to landform diversity and landscape evolution through time which has been controlled by
very diverse geological conditions and dramatic climate changes that have characterized
the Italian peninsula and islands since the end of the last glaciation. In addition, various
examples of human impact on the landscape are presented.
Landscapes and Landforms of Italy contains more than thirty case studies of a multitude
of Italian geographical landmarks. The topics and sites described in this book range from
the Alpine glaciers to the Etna and Vesuvius volcanoes, taking into account the most
representative fluvial, coastal, gravity-induced, karst and structural landscapes of the
country. Chapters on the geomorphological landmarks of the cities of Rome and Venice
are also included.
The book provides the readers with the opportunity to explore the variety of Italian
landscapes and landforms through informative texts illustrated with several color maps
and photos. This book will be relevant to scientists, scholars and any readers interested
in geology, physical geography, geomorphology, landscape tourism, geoheritage and
environmental protection.
