      abstract = {This book presents Brazil as a country of continental  dimensions. Its territory has a large variety of rock  types, geological structures and climates. The country has  a large variety of landscapes, such as the humid plains of  the Amazon River, the dry plateaus of the semi-arid region  or the subtropical mountains of the southern region. On the  coast, some plateaus and mountains, like the Serra do Mar  Mountain range, formed a significant barrier front to  access the hinterland of Brazil. On the other side of these  coastal plateaus and mountains, there is a large collection  of other plateaus, mountains, plains and depressions little  altered by human interference. Thus, Brazil has a unique  variety of different landscapes and extraordinary  geomorphological sites. The book invites readers to learn  more about the beautiful Brazilian landscapes, their  complexity and vastness.},
