内容説明
The authors have drawn extensively on their own international field experiences and those of their colleagues to provide a global introduction to the study of physical geology. The book takes the overriding theme of human interaction with the Earth and its environmental impact. Each chapter opens with an essay focusing on an instance of the impact humans have on the Earth's environment or the impact the Earth has on humans.
