Geodiversity is emphasized, for example the periglacial features in the Hautes Fagnes area, the planation surfaces in the Ardennes and Oesling, and the famous caves of Han/Lesse and Remouchamps. The book’s chief goals are to provide the reader with enjoyable and informative descriptions of the selected sites within their regional geographical and geological settings; to offer an up-to-date survey of the evolution of Belgium’s and Luxembourg’s landscape; and to share additional information on the cultural value of the respective sites wherever appropriate. The book is a richly illustrated reference work that makes accessible for the first time a wealth of information currently scattered among many national and regional journals. It will benefit earth scientists, environmental scientists, tourism geographers and conservationists alike."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000823470 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed September 8, 2017). 000823470 650_0 $$aLandscapes$$zBelgium. 000823470 650_0 $$aLandforms$$zBelgium. 000823470 650_0 $$aLandscapes$$zLuxembourg. 000823470 650_0 $$aLandforms$$zLuxembourg. 000823470 7001_ $$aDemoulin, Alain,$$eeditor. 000823470 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783319582375 000823470 830_0 $$aWorld geomorphological landscapes. 000823470 852__ $$bebk 000823470 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-58239-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000823470 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:823470$$pGLOBAL_SET 000823470 980__ $$aEBOOK 000823470 980__ $$aBIB 000823470 982__ $$aEbook 000823470 983__ $$aOnline 000823470 994__ $$a92$$bISE
