The Blue Planet: An Introduction to Earth System Science (repost)

The Blue Planet: An Introduction to Earth System Science by Brian J. Skinner and Stephen C. Porter
English | October 1994 | ISBN: 0471540218 | PDF | 572 pages | 31,3 MB

The image of the Earth on the front cover was acquired from the GOES-8 Imager by the Laboratory for Atmosphere at NASA'S Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD.

It was taken on September 2, 1994, using two channels for the Imager to produce a "natural color" effect. The photos shown here on the back cover illustrate the four spheres of the Earth system - the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere - together with changes being produced by human activities.
