"This comprehensive introductory work covers basic information on geology, oceanography, and meteorology/climatology. Huddart and Stott (both, Liverpool John Moores Univ., UK) take a systems approach, and thus focus on the interactions between the major components of the Earth system. The book is divided into six main sections: "Introduction to Earth Systems," "Atmosphere and Ocean Systems," "Endogenic Geological Systems," "Exogenic Geological Systems," "Principles of Ecology and Biogeography," and "Global Environmental Change." Each of the 3 1 chapters is well illustrated with black–and–white and color graphs and a variety of photographic images. Chapters conclude with references for further reading and suggested exercises that can be used to test student comprehension of the material. This clear, concisely written book is more inclusive and extensive than many disciplinary introductory works, and could form the basis for a course lasting at least two semesters. Extensive 17–page subject geographic index." (CHOICE, December 2010)
"The strength of this book is that it is an up–to–date summary of the major themes in geosciences, as the blurb on the back cover states. As such, it is an ideal book for students to dip in and out of throughout their undergraduate career alongside other key texts. . . there are also good reading lists at the end of each chapter". (The Geographical Journal, 4 December 2010)
Tailored specifically to undergraduate students, the book is a one–stop textbook for major topics in geosciences, environmental science, physical geography, natural hazards and ecology courses. Topics covered include: atmospheric systems; oceanography; endogenic and exogenic geological systems, biogeography and global environmental change. The impacts of climate and environmental change are integrated in a final summary chapter which draws together earth′s systems and their evolution and looks to the future of the planet.
All topics are backed up with a wealth of resources on the book′s companion website, featuring case studies and ′new research′ boxes, containing summaries based on key journal articles. Learning outcomes and reflective exercises for each chapter lead students effectively throught the individual subject areas.
