Korean Topographic Atlas
Description
Book Introduction
“Topographical studies have been a lifelong pursuit.”
The aesthetics of topography collected over 40 years!
Organizing and explaining 191 examples, ranging from weathered to arid terrain.


『Korean Topographic Atlas』, which organizes and explains the topography of Korea, has been published by Pureungil.
The author explains topographic information in an easy-to-understand way based on topographic photos taken while traveling around the country.
It contains detailed information on the topographical features and backgrounds of each region of the country, including not only weathered landforms but also mountains, plains, rivers, wetlands, coasts, karst, and volcanoes.
This book, which contains a rich collection of 191 topographical examples, is significant in that it is Korea's first topographical atlas.


The shape and characteristics of terrain vary depending on what kind of rock the soil layer is made of and what type of weathering and erosion it has experienced.
From wetlands developed by the flow of rivers, to sandbars and pools formed on the coast by waves and currents, to caves formed by the erosion of limestone, to volcanic bodies formed by the deposition of volcanic ash.
As each landform has a different name, it contains an infinite history of nature that cannot be known without looking closely.


The text is divided into 13 topics according to the universal subject classification method of geomorphology.
Although this is a Korean topographic map, some world topographic examples are also introduced in each chapter to help readers understand.
Although it does not exist in our country, it also includes glacial landforms and arid landforms, which are essential topics in geomorphology textbooks, to complete the book as a topographical atlas.
As we turn the pages of the book, following the author's fascinating explanations, we come to realize that topography does not simply mean land.
The process of understanding the terrain as an element that constitutes nature will soon lead to understanding nature itself.
