Description:
This overview of the physical environment presents geologic concepts in a user-friendly style. Clear, readable discussions with a minimum of technical language combined with a crafted art program and coverage of current events, make up this comprehensive book. Contains a unique chapter on geologic time. The book includes as many current events as possible, such as the floods of 1997-98, the Hale-Bopp Comet, and the volcanism of Montserrat. The theme of Earth systems is woven throughout the book without dominating the structure to cover Earth systems science and demonstrate how different processes interact.
