It addresses contemporary issues of landscape evolution, environmental change and mineral resource exploration. This is a 'must-have' book for all earth scientists interested in the relationships between chemical precipitates and landscape evolution. The book represents a substantial and significant contribution to our understanding of earth surface processes and as such is a valuable addition to the literature of geomorphologies, hydrologists, sedimentologists, geochemists and soil scientists.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eJohn C.
