"This book is intended to provide a foundational understanding of Earth and the physical, chemical, and biological processes that have shaped it and that continue to shape it today. The entire 4.5-billion-year history of Earth and the big changes in the solid Earth, oceans, atmosphere, and biota over geologic time are examined. Like all modern texts on earth science, this book addresses processes that take place over geologic time, including plate tectonics, planetary differentiation, and the evolution of species. In addition, however, this text also examines the current and ongoing changes in Earth's systems taking place over historic time frames, including ocean acidification, global climate change, and the ongoing mass extinction of species. Thus, this book is intended to provide a reference frame for the rapid and unpredictable environmental changes taking place today. This book is the third edition of Earth (2011 and 2014). The first edition was written by Graham R. Thompson and Jon Turk. Both the second edition and this book were substantially revised by Marc S. Hendrix."--Preface, page xii. Earth sciences.
