Description

The Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, oceans, soil, and rocks are intricately connected systems that support life on our planet. This interconnectedness is at the heart of Earth System Science, a field that brings together geographers, geologists, biologists, oceanographers, and atmospheric physicists to understand the complex relationships within these systems. In this book, Timothy Lenton explores how human evolution was shaped by the Earth's systems, how we are now altering those systems, and what a sustainable future for humanity might look like. By drawing on elements of geology, biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, Lenton examines whether Earth System Science can help guide us towards a more sustainable course. The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press offers a concise and accessible introduction to this important topic, making it an ideal choice for those looking to gain a deeper understanding of the Earth's systems and our place within them.
