O knihe

Part 1 sets the context of the Austrian landscape as a whole.

Part 2 is the core of the volume and comprises a careful selection of the most outstanding landscapes in Austria. Each of the chapters results from detailed research conducted by an author over many years. Austriäs landscapes are especially attractive because of the great variety of topographic slopes, geologic foundations and the special landscape legacy from the Quaternary period. Glacial and Karst landscapes dominate, but there are superb examples of granite weathering landscapes and geologically recent volcanism.

The book is lavishly illustrated with about 350 color images and is securely based on scientific scholarship.
