Abstract
The monograph devoted to Ethiopia was published in 2015 in the book’s series “World Geomorphological Landscapes”. The book consists of three parts: “General Introduction to the Geomorphology of Ethiopia” (5 chapters), “Local Studies” (14 chapters) and “Applied Aspects” (2 chapters). The book is perfectly illustrated, which allows to get a full impression of geomorphology of the country. In this review, the general structure of the book and content of each of the three chapters are provided as well as several regional chapters are overviewed that describe the most interest geomorphic features of the country, such as formerly glaciated landscapes, Adwa plugs, Amba structural interfluves, travertine dams in Tygray mountains, morphology of the Afar depression and the Ogaden region.
