Earth System Science: A Very Short IntroductionWhen humanity first glimpsed planet Earth from space, the unity of the system that supports humankind entered the popular consciousness. The concept of the Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, oceans, soil, and rocks operating as a closely interacting system has rapidly gained ground in science. This new field, involving geographers, geologists, biologists, oceanographers, and atmospheric physicists, is known as Earth System Science. In this Very Short

When humanity first glimpsed planet Earth from space, the unity of the system that supports humankind entered the popular consciousness. The concept of the Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, oceans, soil, and rocks operating as a closely interacting system has rapidly gained ground in science. This new field, involving geographers, geologists, biologists, oceanographers, and atmospheric physicists, is known as Earth System Science.

In this Very Short Introduction, Tim Lenton considers how a world in which humans could evolve was created; how, as a species, we are now reshaping that world; and what a sustainable future for humanity within the Earth System might look like. Drawing on elements of geology, biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, Lenton asks whether Earth System Science can help guide us onto a sustainable course before we alter the Earth system to the point where we destroy ourselves and our current civilisation.

Great all around and durable. Will last a long time.
Size: Large-X-Large, Color: Black/Anthracite/White
Great hat for being lightweight yet holding the sweat it needs to while also being cooling with the air vent holes. Perfect velcro that moves and does not collect junk in the wash. Durable and is long lasting. Have used for many months and wear a visor daily. It is my favorite.

Great lightweight & breathable visor for the outdoors
This visor is nice & light-weight. I love the style & the tiny holes in front for breathability! I’m a huge Nike fan & appreciate the sturdiness, softness & comfort. It has a soft velcro adjustment, so it doesn’t scratch the back of your head, which is a plus. Value for the money is a little high, but well worth it since it’s my go-to hat for playing tennis, running or walking. Highly recommend this to others.
