Reynolds' number Originally published in this form in 1971, the content of this book was originally part of a larger composite volume 'Water, Earth and Man' (1969) which provided a synthesis of hydrology, geomorphology and socio-economic geography. This volume brings together the systematic theme of physical hydrology while maintaining a link with the original book which emphasised the benefit of the study of water being considered in the widest sense within the physical and social environments OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record HTTP:URL=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429273339 Information=Taylor & Francis
