Book excerpt: Excerpt from Man as a Geological Agent: An Account of His Action on Inanimate Nature Many animals alter the surface of the earth to a certain extent to suit their own convenience and comfort. Some burrow or dig holes, others make mounds of various kinds; while some, such as the beavers, dam and alter watercourses, with results that arc by no means insignificant. The turbaries or peaty swamps of the Lea valley in Essex, for example, are probably due in great part to the work of the beavers which lived there in prehistoric times. The activities of animals in altering their surroundings, however, arc not progressive. Animals merely repeat the same old instinctive course, and the world from their point of view never becomes a more desirable place to live in. Man, on the other hand, ever since his appearance, has progressed in adapting surrounding nature to his needs. Commencing by picking up any broken piece of stone useful for his purpose as an implement, he would gradually begin to chip the stones himself to make them of the required shape. Next, he learned the preparation of metals which would provide tools both more efficient and more varied. Finally, his materials for industry became almost unlimited.

Download or read book Zoogeomorphology written by David R. Butler and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-05-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animals as geomorphic agents have primarily been considered "curiosities" in the literature of geomorphology, whose spatial and quantitative influences have been seen as both limited and minor. Zoogeomorphology: Animals as Geomorphic Agents examines the distinct geomorphic influences of invertebrates, ectothermic vertebrates, birds, and mammals, and demonstrates the importance of animals as landscape sculptors. Specific processes associated with the diversity of animal influences in geomorphology are examined, including burrowing and denning, nesting, lithophagy and geophagy, wallowing and trampling, food caching, excavating for food, and dam building by beavers. Particular emphasis is placed on terrestrial animals, although aquatic animals are also discussed where appropriate. This book, which is the only one available wholly devoted to this topic, will interest graduate students and professional research workers in geomorphology, ecology, environmental science, physical geography, and geology.
Download or read book Geomorphology in the Anthropocene written by Andrew S. Goudie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anthropocene is a major new concept in the Earth sciences and this book examines the effects on geomorphology within this period. Drawing examples from many different global environments, this comprehensive volume demonstrates that human impact on landforms and land-forming processes is profound, due to various driving forces, including: use of fire; extinction of fauna; development of agriculture, urbanisation, and globalisation; and new methods of harnessing energy. The book explores the ways in which future climate change due to anthropogenic causes may further magnify effects on geomorphology, with respect to future hazards such as floods and landslides, the state of the cryosphere, and sea level. The book concludes with a consideration of the ways in which landforms are now being managed and protected. Covering all major aspects of geomorphology, this book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students studying geomorphology, environmental science and physical geography, and for all researchers of geomorphology.
