Description

This edition of the broad-based introduction to earth sciences takes an approach that integrates astronomy, meterology, geology and oceanography. The holistic approach allows readers who are unfamiliar with earth science to imagine the relationships among the universe, the solar system and our planet and the ties among the diverse Earth features and processes. New material relating to events has been added including Kobe and Northridge earthquakes and the collision of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter.
