This book covers river behaviour and fluvial processes for students of geography and earth sciences. The role of network analysis is considered, together with the ways in which channels and networks develop, before attention focuses on the river channel itself. The book adopts a more theoretical approach to its subject and highlights the different approaches that have been and can be used for dealing with adjustment in the fluvial system.
