Mark Tippett and Niels Hovius -- Morphotectonic evolution of Taiwan / Jiun-Chuan Lin -- Morphotectonic evolution of Japan / Hiroo Ohmori -- Large scale geomorphology of the Andes: interrelationships of tectonics, magmatism and climate / Lorcan Kennan -- Morphotectonic evolution of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau / Eric J. Fielding -- Geomorphological evolution of the East Australian continental margin / Paul Bishop and Geoff Goldrick -- Morphotectonic evolution of the South Atlantic margins of Africa and South America / Roderick W. Brown et al. -- Late Cenozoic landscape evolution of the US Atlantic passive margin / Frank J. Pazzaglia and Thomas W. Gardner -- Linking tectonics and landscape development in a passive margin setting: the Transantarctic Mountains / Andrew Kerr, David E. Sugden, and Michael A. Summerfield -- Morphotectonic evolution of the Western Ghats, India / Y. Gunnell and L. Fleitout -- The growth and decay of oceanic islands / A.B. Watts.

Summary: This book presents the state of current research on the inter-relationships between global tectonics and macroscale landscape development across a wide range of topics and study areas. Each chapter aims to provide up-to-date surveys of key research questions, to report on important current work, and to highlight outstanding research issues." "The book will be invaluable to those across the earth science community who are interested in the relationships between tectonics and topography
