Summary India, a country that for long attracted notice from the world over for its multiplicity of cultures, ethnicities and faiths is blessed with an array of equally diverse physical landscapes. The landforms of this South Asian subcontinent encompass everything from scorching deserts to humid coastal plains supporting tropical rainforest, uplifted scarps and plateaus, a long crenulated as well as prograding coastline, remote archipelagos, deep river valleys and among the highest, craggy, snow-clad mountains of the world. This volume is a rich visual celebration of India's landforms covering the entire geological time scale ranging from the Hadean to the recent, using different mediums including earth-based terrestrial photography, remote sensing satellite images and time-honoured traditional topographic maps.
