Comprehensive coverage of the whole Earth system throughout its
entire existence and beyond Complete with a new introduction by the
authors, this updated edition helps provide an understanding of the
past, present, and future processes that occur on and in our
Earth--the fascinating, yet potentially lethal, set of atmospheric,
surface, and internal processes that interact to produce our living
environment. It introduces students to our planet's four key
interdependent systems: the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere
and biosphere, focusing on their key components, the interactions
between them, and environmental change. The book also uses
geological case studies throughout, in addition to the modern
processes. Topics covered in the Second Edition of Earth
Environments: Past, Present and Future include: an Earth systems
model; components systems and processes; atmospheric systems;
oceanography; surface and internal geological systems;
biogeography; and aspects of Earth's record. The book also
discusses the impact of climate and environmental change in a final
chapter that draws together Earth's systems and their evolution,
and looks ahead to potential future changes in Earth's
environments. Updated to include all the major developments since
2008 Features research boxes containing summaries based on recent
key journal articles Includes a companion web site containing
multiple choice revision quizzes for students, PowerPoint slides
for lecturers, useful links, and more Presents further reading for
each topic so that students can build their knowledge base to
underpin their own undergraduate research project/dissertation
Offers additional case studies in each chapter for enhanced reader
understanding Earth Environments: Past, Present and Future is an
excellent text for undergraduates in geosciences, environmental
science, physical geography, natural hazards, and ecology.
