LIU TUNGSHENG 1988:LOESS IN CHINA

This is an important book, a true classic; it stands for many things, it represents and symbolizes the arrival of the Chinese loess on the world stage in geographical research, it demonstrates the role of loess/palaeosol sequences in illuminating the nature of a complex Quaternary period, but more than anything it places Liu Tungsheng into position as one of the very greatest of loess investigators. An attempt has been made to demarcate the 12 most significant loess scholars( Smalley et al., 2001 ); read this book and see why Liu is secure among the chosen 12.
