Earth Science and Human History 101 (Science 101)
Description:
How much has human history been influenced by the earth and its processes? This volume in the Science 101 series describes how both slow changes and rapid, violent, ones have impacted the development of civilizations throughout history. Slow changes include variations in climate, progressive development of types of tools and sources of energy, and changes in the types of food that people consume. Violent changes include volcanic eruptions such as the one at Toba 75,000 years ago, which may have caused diversification of people into different races, and the eruption of Santorini in 1640 BC, which may have destroyed Minoan civilization. Other disasters are Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004.
Earth Science and Human History 101 describes basic principles of geology and shows how the earth affected history and is affecting present events.
The volume has four sections:
Processes in the atmosphere, oceans, and rivers
Plate tectonics
The conflict between the evidence for evolution during the long history of the earth and the beliefs of creationists
Resources and the environment
The volume includes a glossary, numerous illustrations, and a bibliography of works useful for further research.
