Chapter 1 - Introduction -- Part 1 - Regional Setting -- Chapter 2. Quaternary climate variability and periglacial dynamics -- Chapter 3 - Periglacial Landforms Across Europe -- Part 2 - Periglacial Landforms in Southern Europe -- Chapter 4. The Iberian Peninsula -- Chapter 5. The Italian Peninsula -- Chapter 6. The Balkans (without Carpathians) -- Chapter 7. The Anatonian Peninsula -- Chapter 8. The Mediterranean islands -- Part 3 - Periglacial Landforms in Central and Eastern Europe -- Chapter 9. European Alps -- Chapter 10. The Central European Variscan ranges -- Chapter 11. The Carpathians -- Chapter 12. The North European Plain -- Part 4 - Periglacial Landforms in Northern Europe -- Chapter 13. Great Britain and Ireland -- Chapter 14. Scandinavia -- Chapter 15. Iceland -- Part 5 - Conclusions -- Chapter 16. The periglaciation of Europe.

This book comprehensively presents the geography of landforms linked to periglacial processes across Europe. The landscape of the European cold climate regions, both at high latitudes and in mountainous environments, represent the lingering, minimal expression of the glaciers. In addition, periglacial elements can be found in temperate regions, where temperatures no longer favor periglacial processes, so landforms are therefore inherited from previous cold phases. The book is divided into five parts: an introductory section on climate variability responsible for periglacial dynamics across Europe; a second part including 3 blocks on periglacial landforms in southern, central and northern Europe; and a final chapter providing a more general perspective on the impact of periglacial processes on the landscape of Europe. The book offers a valuable reference guide for scientists from all disciplines interested in cold climate processes, as well as readers outside academia (territorial managers, environmentalists, mountaineers, politicians, engineers, etc.)
