The Physics of Blown Sand and Desert Dunes - (Dover Earth Science) by R a Bagnold (Paperback)

This comprehensive guidebook, "The Mechanics of Blown Sand," provides an in-depth look at the behavior of sand and its movement through various land forms.

Written by a leading authority on the subject, this book offers a detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved in sand transport, including wind-tunnel experiments and ground wind dependence.

The author's three-part treatment covers small-scale surface phenomena, size-grading of grains, and the growth and movement of dunes.

The book also explores the internal structure of accumulated sand and its carrying power for motor transport, as well as its water-retention potential.

With 84 figures and 16 halftones, this classic work is an enduring reference for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in the field.
