      abstract = {This book intends to identify and publicize the unique  features of Austrian geomorphology. In a country which  stretches from the core of the European Alps to the  Hungarian plain there is huge variety of landforms and  landscapes. This book reveals that variety. Part 1 sets the  context of the Austrian landscape as a whole. Part 2 is the  core of the volume and comprises a careful selection of the  most outstanding landscapes in Austria. Each of the  chapters results from detailed research conducted by an  author over many years. Austrias landscapes are especially  attractive because of the great variety of topographic  slopes, geologic foundations and the special landscape  legacy from the Quaternary period. Glacial and Karst  landscapes dominate, but there are superb examples of  granite weathering landscapes and geologically recent  volcanism. Part 3 is the editors original and creative  contribution. It emphasizes the importance of geomorphology  as a natural resource. Tourism relies upon geomorphology  and many national, aesthetic and cultural values are  influenced by that geomorphology. The book is lavishly  illustrated with about 300 color images and is securely  based on scientific scholarship.},
