Fully updated throughout, including revised illustrations and new
images from NASA missions, this new edition provides an overview of
Earth's history from a planetary science perspective for Earth
science undergraduates. Earth's evolution is described in the
context of what we know about other planets and the cosmos at
large, from the origin of the cosmos to the processes that shape
planetary environments and from the origins of life to the inner
workings of cells. Astronomy, Earth science, planetary science and
astrobiology are integrated to give students the whole picture of
how the Earth has come to its present state and an understanding of
the relationship between key ideas in different fields. The book
presents concepts in nontechnical language and mathematical
treatments are avoided where possible. New end-of-chapter summaries
and questions allow students to check their understanding and
critical thinking is emphasized to encourage students to explore
ideas scientifically for themselves.
