Synopsis

Over the last decade, the study of cycles as a model for the earth's changing climate has become a new science.

New information is included in this updated edition so that the text remains relevant.

Review

"Anyone fascinated by natural phenomena and concerned about the state of the planet will treasure this work.... It is the first place to turn when needing answers to such questions as "How much water is in the ocean?", ... "What is the annual sediment load to the sea?" It also includes many of the equations used to calculate process rates and transfers between reservoirs."
--Prof. Suzanne N. Levine, Aiken Center, Burlington, Vermont
