This book provides a sound introduction to the basic physicalprocesses that dominate the workings of the Earth, its atmosphereand hydrosphere. It systematically introduces the physicalprocesses involved in the Earth's systems without assuming anadvanced physics or mathematical background.
* * Offers an integrated approach to the study of earth, marine andatmospheric environmental sciences, reflecting current trends inundergraduate courses.
* Natural examples of physical processes, rather than abstractphysics and maths, are used throughout to illustrate the scientificprinciples involved.
