New to This Edition
  • The addition of Daniel Botkin strengthens the biosphere coverage in the book - new chapters "A Planetary Perspective on Life", "Biological Evolution and the History of the Biosphere", and "Geochemistry and Life". Chapter one has also been revised to give a stronger biological perspective.
  • The amount of quantitative material has been slightly reduced, in order to address the non-science student.
  • The systems approach has been strengthened through increased examples of inter-related biogeochemical cycles.
