The Earth System Ed 4

The Earth System is revolutionary in its design because it addresses the issues of global change from a true Earth systems perspective. Lessons from Earth’s past allow students to put such modern global change issues in historical context. The book describes how the Earth system “works” and maintains homeostasis, highlighting those events that provide lessons for the future. It describes the effects of humans on the Earth system, emphasizing the global issues of climate change, ozone depletion, and loss of biodiversity. Finally, it concludes by discussing the prospect for life on planets outside the solar system and on Earth in its long-term future.
