| adam_text | KEY FEATURES
Earths Evolving Systems: The History of Planet Earth is
intended as an introductory text that examines the evolution
of the Earth and its life from a systems perspective. It covers
major topics like the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere,
and biosphere, and discusses how these systems interacted
with each other and evolved through geologic time. The author
takes care to integrate the current state of our Earth systems
with those of the past in an effort to further develop students
interest. Part I examines the basics of Earth systems, including
discussions of sedimentation, evolution, stratigraphy, and plate
tectonics. Part II looks at the beginning of time with the origin of
the Earth and discusses its early evolution, through the origin
of life and its evolution to multicellularity. Part III goes on to
cover the Paleozoic through the Neogene eras, discussing
topics such as tectonics, mountain building, sea level, climate,
life, and mass extinctions in each era. Part IV moves on to the
modern world, discussing the interactions between humans
and Earth systems, with an emphasis on the climatic system.
* Presents the Earth as a continuously evolving and dynamic
planet whose history consists of a succession of vastly
different worlds very much unlike our modern Earth.
■ Discusses the scientific method in Chapter 1, emphasizing
how historical geology differs from the standard scientific
method presented as the paradigm of experimental
sciences and of all science,
* Bridges traditional historical geology texts by discussing
historical information in the context of the interaction and
integration of Earth systems through geologic time by using
the tectonic (Wilson) cycle as a unifying theme.
* Concentrates on North America but offers a global perspective
on Earth systems on processes such as orogenesis, seaways,
and ocean circulation, the evolution of life, and mass extinction.
* Discusses rapid climate change and anthropogenic
impacts in the context of a continuously evolving Earth
whose environments are now being altered by
anthropogenic climate change.
* End-of-chapter materials include general review questions,
more challenging Food for Thought questions, key terms
listing, and a Sources and Further Readings section.
■ Boxes throughout the text highlight interesting bits of related
information and unusual occurrences or elaborate on material
presented in the text.
SUPPLEMENTS INCLUDE-
Companion Website
Instructor s PowerPoint Lecture Outlines
Instructor s PowerPoint Image Bank
Instructor s Test Bank
Instructor s Manual
The Layered Earth, included within the Companion Website,
includes exercises that enable students to envision Earth as a
whole system, showing them tectonic plate boundaries, mountain
ranges, volcanoes, earthquakes, mineral resources, and biomes.
Students can then dive into the Earth s core, slice open a volcano,
or watch rocks transform. They ll even witness the changing
shapes of Earth s major landmasses throughout history!
