The landscape of the European cold climate regions, both at high latitudes and in mountainous environments, represent the lingering, minimal expression of the glaciers. In addition, periglacial elements can be found in temperate regions, where temperatures no longer favor periglacial processes, so landforms are therefore inherited from previous cold phases. The book is divided into five parts: an introductory section on climate variability responsible for periglacial dynamics across Europe; a second part including 3 blocks on periglacial landforms in southern, central and northern Europe; and a final chapter providing a more general perspective on the impact of periglacial processes on the landscape of Europe. The book offers a valuable reference guide for scientists from all disciplines interested in cold climate processes, as well as readers outside academia (territorial managers, environmentalists, mountaineers, politicians, engineers, etc.).

These regions are becoming more important because of the need to exploit their natural resources, so that oil and mining industries require periglacial geomorphologists on their staff. This book presents a review of the present status of periglacial geomorphology as reflected through a series of themes, including weathering and sediment transport, active layer processes, process-form relationships and broad aspects of the periglacial system. The focus is firmly on the achievements of the last decade, and spans representative examples of European and North American work. International co-operation has been excellent in producing a valuable contribution to the literature.
