KEY BENEFIT: Living With Earth: An Introduction to Environmental
Geology is ideal for readers with little or no scientific
background, fostering a better understanding of how they interact
with Earth and how their actions can affect Earth's environmental
health. The informal, friendly presentation is organized around a
few unifying perspectives: how the various Earth systems interact
with one another; how Earth affects people (creating hazards but
also providing essential resources); and how people affect Earth.
Greater emphasis is placed on environment and sustainability than
on geology. Essential scientific foundations are presented-but the
ultimate goal is to connect students proactively to their role as
stakeholders in Earth's future.
What Does "Living with Earth" Mean? Earth Systems; The Dynamic
Geosphere and Plate Tectonics; Geosphere Materials; Earthquakes;
Volcanoes; Rivers and Flooding; Unstable Land; Changing Coasts;
Water Resources; Soil Resources; Mineral Resources; Energy
Resources; Atmosphere Resources and Climate Change; Managing
People's Environmental Impact.
MARKET: A reader-friendly reference for those who wish to learn
more about human-Earth system interaction.
