Elemental Geosystems Book

Offering a brief treatment of the elements of physical geography without sacrificing scientific content, Elemental Geosystems has been crafted to provide an accessible, systematic, and visually appealing start in physical geography. It is organized with a logical progression around the flow of energy, materials, and information to present topics in the same sequence in which they occur in nature. Engaging examples and applications of current events unfold as the author tells the story of modern Earth systems science. Climate change coverage incorporates the most current data available, and climate change science appears throughout where relevant impacts are important.
