Recensione

'The title reflects the contents, and the author, precise, well-organized, clearly stated, an impressive contribution to the 'Studies in Polar Research' series.' Boreas Book Reviews

'This volume; adds a valuable and necessary contribution to the available material on cold climate processes and landforms. Although the effects of wind have been long recognized, this is the first volume to comprehensively deal with its attributes and effects in present and past cold environments ... this is a very valuable volume that fills a significant gap. The book is not only of direct interest to cold environment geomorphologists but should also interest biologists - and has direct connections with those interested in the role of wind in hot desert environments (for which the overlaps are many) ... I would also recommend it to anyone actively involved in cold environment geomorphic studies as a text you need in your office for quick and ready reference.' Antarctic Science

'... an original and substantive book ... it provides a masterly overview that exposes the reader to some important, fascinating, but under-researched phenomena.' Progress in Physical Geography
