Landslides: Causes, consequences and environment, by Michael J.Crozier. Croom Helm, London, 1986.

Michael Crozier has sent out to provide answers to a number of the basic questions which are asked about landslides, and to provide a critical review and synthesis of the present state of knowledge on the topic. The level of treatment and style of writing are appropriate for the understanding of most informed people who need general and specific information about landslides, rather than for the specialist in geomechanics.
