This is an essential volume for any earth science library.
Given that students will be studying other aspects of earth science, besides, perhaps, ancillary subjects, the scope does seem unrealistically wide.
Earth science became ever more specialized, technical, difficult.
Within the context of astrobiology, students explore topics including astronomy, evolution, paleontology, biology, earth science, physics, chemistry, geology, and remote sensing.
In summary, this volume is designed for specialists rather than for the broad earth science audience.
Earth science databases - their construction, manipulation and display - emerge as the key components of urban geoscience.
Earth science remained an accomplishment for general scholars, intellectuals, the literati, and gentlemen of leisure, and still abutted onto natural and evidential theology, topography and antiquarianism.
Pupils study an equal balance of biology, physics and chemistry together with aspects of earth science and astronomy.
