In this first full-scale attempt to reconstruct the chemical
evolution of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, Heinrich Holland
assembles data from a wide spectrum of fields to trace the history
of the ocean-atmosphere system. A pioneer in an increasingly
important area of scholarship, he presents a comprehensive
treatment of knowledge on this subject, provides an extensive
bibliography, and outlines problems and approaches for further
research.
The first four chapters deal with the turbulent first half
billion years of Earth history. The next four chapters, devoted
largely to the Earth from 3.9 to 0.6 b.y.b.p., demonstrate that
changes in the atmosphere and oceans during this period were not
dramatic. The last chapter of the book deals with the Phanerozoic
Eon; although the isotopic composition of sulfur and strontium in
seawater varied greatly during this period of Earth history, the
chemical composition of seawater did not.
