La nouvelle édition de Arid Zone Geomorphology vise à encapsuler les progrès qui ont été réalisés ces dernières années dans l'étude et l'explication des formes de relief et des processus géomorphologiques dans les zones arides. S'appuyant sur le succès des deux éditions précédentes, la troisième édition a été entièrement révisée et mise à jour pour refléter les derniers développements dans le domaine. Bien que cette dernière édition reste une référence complète au sujet, le livre a été restructuré pour inclure des études de cas régionales tout au long de la période afin d'améliorer la compréhension des élèves et est clairement défini en cinq sections distinctes. Tout d'abord, le livre présente au lecteur les contrôles à grande échelle et la variabilité dans les zones arides et passe ensuite à considérer les processus et caractéristiques de surface ; le travail de l'eau, le travail du vent. Le livre se termine par une section sur la géomorphologie Vivre avec des terres arides qui comprend un chapitre sur les dangers géomorphologiques et l'impact humain sur ces environnements.
Une fois de plus, des experts mondiaux reconnus dans le domaine ont été invités à contribuer à des chapitres afin de présenter un aperçu complet et actualisé des connaissances actuelles sur les processus façonnant le paysage des déserts et des régions arides. Afin d'élargir l'attrait de la troisième édition, le livre a été réduit de 100 pages et les chapitres régionaux ont été omis en faveur de l'inclusion d'études de cas régionales clés dans le livre. L'éditeur envisage également d'inclure un site Web supplémentaire qui pourrait inclure d'autres images, problèmes et études de cas.

The new edition of Arid Zone Geomorphology encapsulates the advances that have been made in recent years in the investigation and explanation of landforms and geomorphological processes in drylands. Building on the success of the previous two editions, the Third Edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in the field. Whilst this latest edition will remain a comprehensive reference to the subject, the book has been restructured to include regional case studies throughout to enhance student understanding and is clearly defined into five distinct sections; Firstly, the book introduces the reader to Large Scale Controls and Variability in Drylands and then moves on to consider Surface Processes and Characteristics; The Work of Water and The Work of the Wind. The book concludes with a section on Living with Dryland Geomorphology that includes a chapter on geomorphological hazards and the human impact on these environments.
Once again, recognized world experts in the field contributed chapters in order to present a comprehensive and up–to–date overview of current knowledge about the processes shaping the landscape of deserts and arid regions.
