Summary, Etc.
The unifying theme of this book is consideration of aspects of both natural and human-induced global environmental change. Earth\'s ecosphere or exogenic system - its land, water, air, sediments, and biota - has always been in a dynamic state of change. Change is more probably more characteristic of the planet than constancy. Based on the fact that there are both natural and human-induced global changes, this book is divided into two parts. Part 1 deals with the natural exogenic system of earth. It emphasizes the historical (geologic) perspective of change and discusses processes and change in the lithosphere (land, sediments and rocks), atmosphere (air), hydrosphere (water), and biosphere (life) systems. Part ll demonstrates how human activities are influencing the natural system and the consequences of human-induced change for ecosystems, humans, and human infrastructures
