The rugged highland contrast with the rolling  hills and flat plains found further south, while the western and  northern islands, together with the highly-indented coastline add  further to the scenic diversity. How this variety of landscapes came  into being, the forces which shaped it , and the climatic extremes  which drove it, are the themes explored in this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780412488405\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1500-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 297cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 695\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398706098316,"sku":"9780412488405","price":297.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780412488405.jpg?v=1755441723","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780412488405","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
