How much has human history been influenced by the earth and its
processes? This volume in the Science 101 series describes how both
slow changes and rapid, violent, ones have impacted the development
of civilizations throughout history. Slow changes include
variations in climate, progressive development of types of tools
and sources of energy, and changes in the types of food that people
consume. Violent changes include volcanic eruptions such as the one
at Toba 75,000 years ago, which may have caused diversification of
people into different races, and the eruption of Santorini in 1640
BC, which may have destroyed Minoan civilization. Other disasters
are Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the tsunami in the Indian Ocean
in 2004. Earth Science and Human History 101 describes basic
principles of geology and shows how the earth affected history and
is affecting present events. The volume has four sections:
Processes in the atmosphere, oceans, and rivers Plate tectonics The
conflict between the evidence for evolution during the long history
of the earth and the beliefs of creationists Resources and the
environment The volume includes a glossary, numerous illustrations,
and a bibliography of works useful for further research.
