Historical Geology: Evolution of Earth Anf Life Through Time

About this book

HISTORICAL GEOLOGY Sixth Edition presents a balanced overview of the geological and biological history of Earth as a continuum of interrelated events that reflect the underlying principles and processes that have shaped our planet. Students are taught the basic geologic principles as well as how scientists apply these principles to unravel Earths history. Three major themes - time evolutionary theory and plate tectonics - are woven together throughout the book to help students link essential material and enhance their understanding of historical geology. The sixth edition has been thoroughly updated to include the formation of the Earth-Moon system information about the evolution of populations as a whole and coverage of climate change throughout the text placing an emphasis on what we dont know within the historical geology field as compared to what we do know.
