AIR WATER EARTH FIRE - ANGELO PECCERILLO KARTON...

The book describes the structure  composition and evolution of the Earth  the main geological
processes occurring on it  and how some crucial environmental matters that are amply debated in
the media (e.g. pollution  greenhouse effect) can be fully understood by placing them in the
holistic context of the system Earth as a whole. It provides basic information on a series of
key geological issues  from the structure and composition of the Earth to the large-scale
processes that characterize our planet  such as rock alteration and sedimentation  magmatism 
geomagnetism  seismicity  plate tectonics  cyclical migration of chemical elements through
various Earth reservoirs (Geochemical Cycles)  and evolution of the planet from Hadean to
present. It intends to reach a wide readership  which is interested in our planet and wish to
have a general and comprehensive view of its origin  evolution and activity. Potential
readership includes undergraduate and advanced undergraduate students in Geology and other
scientific disciplines  and any moderately- to well-educated people interested in the
surrounding world and eager to gain a basic knowledge of the Earth and to reach an integrated
view of how our planet is working.
