内容説明
For courses in Earth Systems Science offered in departments of Geology, Earth Science, Geography and Environmental Science.
The first textbook of its kind that addresses the issues of global change from a true Earth systems perspective, The Earth System offers a solid emphasis on lessons from Earth's history that may guide decision-making in the future. It is more rigorous and quantitative than traditional Earth science books, while remaining appropriate for non-science majors.
