This reference text is suitable for high school students studying geology and Earth sciences, as well as general readers. It covers the basic balance of nature; environmental degradation; climate change; hydrologic activity; coastal processes; tectonic hazards; erosion and slides; desertification; natural resources; and land use. Nicely chosen but fuzzy b&w photographs throughout, as well as line drawings and maps.
