Before the manuscript of this book had been sent to the publisher, the author had gone to France in the American Ambulance Service. The proof, therefore, has not had the advantage of the authors revision. The undersigned was familiar enough with his general purpose, however, to undertake the final reading and to make such minor modifications as seemed desirable. The field covered is so broad that no one could be expected to have a critical knowledge of all the facts presented, but they have been obtained from the most reliable sources. It is to be expected that each specialist will be most critical in reference to his own subject, but the chief motive of the book is to develop some appreciation of nature as a great synthesis and of our relation to it. To present so general a picture with the least confusion involves the omission of many details. Perhaps no two independent teachers would agree exactly upon the selection of material, but this is of minor importance as compared with the purpose in view. The colloquial method of presentation, accompanied by more or less repetition, was adopted because it had proved to be the most effective as tested by many trials with classes.

The book begins with a historical perspective on the gradual transformation of the Earth from a barren, waterlogged planet into the lush, habitable space we know today.
