The Earth’s Dynamic Surface

The Earth's Dynamic SurfaceA complete book, and a complete solution for GS Preliminary Test. UNIQUE, EXCEPTIONAL EXTRORDINARY QR code guided video presentation of the chapters in a documentary form

 The Earth's Dynamic Surface is a trend setter book on Geology, Earth Sciences and Geomorphology. Though many books have been written on the subject, and Savindra Singh’s book being one of them which has been completely traditional. This book incorporates the traditional, as well as modern concepts, which could be comprehensive yet fundamental and which could be useful for Earth Science, Geology, Geography as well as non-Geography students. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

K Siddhartha

The Earth’s Dynamic Surface attempts to answer some of the most fundamental questions of Geomorphology in a language that 21st century demands. It departs from traditional books in that it is most upto date in its presentation of facts and eliminates many obsolete concepts. In a sense this book is more scientifically produced than any other book on Geomorphology previously written in India. Still, throughout the book, the link with the basics and the fundamentals has been maintained.

The book has been completely designed. The layout and make-up of the pages is such that students belonging to different categories can use it alike. Essential scientific models, concepts and terms (particularly for deeper knowledge of the subject) are explained in boxed sections which are separated from the text in order to facilitate the use of the book with wide academic background and interest.
