Original reviews of Rivers: ‘This lucid and scholarly review of over 850 research publications will undoubtedly serve as an excellent advanced text for geomorphology courses and as a standard reference work for students in allied subjects.’ The Times Higher Education Supplement ‘In this book Keith Richards has assembled a wealth of information on the geomorphology of rivers…he is to be congratulated on producing a thoroughly researched, up-to-date account of fluvial processes and landforms. This book will be a standard text for many years to come.’ Geography ‘Rivers is undoubtedly one of the major contributions to the subject of fluvial geomorphology in the last decade. Keith Richards provides a detailed review of the ‘state of the art’ in a field which has grown so much in recent years, that, on this basis alone, the book is major achievement. It is an essential reference text for serious students and practitioners in geomorphology, sedimentology and river engineering.’ Sedimentology
