Publisher Description: Landscape--the unique combination of landforms, plants, animals, and weather that compose any natural place--is inherently transient. Each essay in Transient Landscapes introduces this idea of a constantly metamorphosing global landscape, revealing how to see the ubiquity of landscape transience, both that which results through Earth's natural environmental and climatological processes and that which comes from human intervention. |
