The past year has been a landmark year for arid lands geomorphology with the publication of two major texts on desert geomorphology, as well as two edited volumes of articles on aeolian processes, sediments and landforms (Pye, 1993; Pye and Lancaster, 1993) and a special edition of the Journal of Arid Environments devoted to articles from an international symposium on the evolution of deserts in Ahmedabad, India.
