Content: Chapter 1 - Introduction -- Part 1 - Regional Setting -- Chapter 2. Quaternary climate variability and periglacial dynamics -- Chapter 3 - Periglacial Landforms Across Europe -- Part 2 - Periglacial Landforms in Southern Europe -- Chapter 4. The Iberian Peninsula -- Chapter 5. The Italian Peninsula -- Chapter 6. The Balkans (without Carpathians) -- Chapter 7. The Anatonian Peninsula -- Chapter 8. The Mediterranean islands -- Part 3 - Periglacial Landforms in Central and Eastern Europe -- Chapter 9. European Alps -- Chapter 10. The Central European Variscan ranges -- Chapter 11. The Carpathians -- Chapter 12. The North European Plain -- Part 4 - Periglacial Landforms in Northern Europe -- Chapter 13. Great Britain and Ireland -- Chapter 14. Scandinavia -- Chapter 15. Iceland -- Part 5 - Conclusions -- Chapter 16. The periglaciation of Europe.

Content: This book comprehensively presents the geography of landforms linked to periglacial processes across Europe. 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.). .

Note: Iberia, Land of Glaciers: How The Mountains Were Shaped By Glaciers aims to discuss the impact of past glaciers in the current landscape of Iberia. Currently, there are only small glaciers in the highest peaks of the Pyrenees that are the legacy of the last cold period that ended at the end of the 19th century: The Little Ice Age. However, an accurate observation of the landscape of the highest peaks and adjacent valleys of the Iberian Peninsula reveals a past shaped by the successive passage of glaciers with hundreds of meters of ice, similar to what happens today in the Alps or Patagonia. Iberian glaciation has resulted in ice expansion through valleys that are now used by the road network and where important populations settle; in addition, large accumulations of sediments deposited by those glaciers are still unstable today and can trigger risks for mountain populations. Iberia, Land of Glaciers presents the impact of the glaciers in the landscape of mountains following a more educational perspective with examples of fifteen Iberian massifs written by specialists from each of the areas.
