- catalog abstract ""Earth Systems: Processes and Issues is the ideal textbook for introductory courses in Earth Systems science and environmental science. Integrating the principles of the natural sciences, engineering, and economics as they pertain to the global environment, it explains the complex couplings and feedback mechanisms linking the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere." "The textbook has been designed for the wide range of courses at the first-year university level that touch upon environmental issues: for example, Earth and atmospheric science, oceanography, biological science, geography, civil engineering, environmental law, political science, and environmental economics."--Jacket.".
