 Though many books have been written in on Physical Geography in India there has been an urgent need for a comprehensive text on Physical Geography, which can incorporate the traditional, as well as modern concepts, which could be comprehensive yet fundamental and which could be useful for Geography as well as non-Geography students. Physical Geography comprises of Geomorphology, Climatology, and Oceanography and Bio Environmental Geography. The basic intention of this book was to provide all needed information which the UPSC aspirants require, with all modern day content, illustrations and presentations to help to visualize the concepts in a better manner, add realism to the subject and to further the interest of the students.
