First published in 1983‎,‎ this book describes the construction and in‎-laboratory use of basic earth‎-science equipment‎,‎ including the flume‎,‎ rainfall simulator‎,‎ wind tunnel and wave generator‎.‎ It is emphasised throughout that the equipment should be capable of a high level of control so that experiments can be planned and replicated‎.‎ The aim of the book is to facilitate the laboratory study of landform processes in courses associated with geomorphology‎,‎ geology‎,‎ physical geography and earth science in general‎.‎ The book contains details of a number of experiments using each type of simulator‎,‎ and these are described in detail on a formal objective‎-procedure‎-conclusion basis‎,‎ each conclusion being repeated using a ‎'‎systems analysis‎'‎ approach to key attributes‎.‎ This book will be invaluable to instructions at universities‎,‎ colleges and secondary schools who teach earth science‎,‎ geology‎,‎ physical geography and geomorphology‎,‎ and to students training to be teachers in these subjects‎.‎
