Earth System, The (2nd Edition)

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. The text is more quantitative than the standard Earth science book, but the authors have remained sensitive to the needs of non-science majors.
