Product Description
This new addition to Barron's Easy Way series introduces the concept of Earth System Science and explains how the new emphasis on the Earth System approach is revolutionizing our understanding of global-scale Earth processes and changes. Separate chapters cover the Earth’s major systems (atmosphere, hydrosphere cryosphere, geosphere, and biosphere); the Big Bang and alternate theories of the universe’s origin; galaxies, stellar evolution, and other space phenomena; our solar system; the Earth–Moon system; geology and the geolologic time scale; plate tectonics and continental drift; weathering and erosion; the world’s oceans and atmosphere; and environmental considerations.

Reader Reviews
Earth and Space Science may not be particularly interesting or difficult. If you or your child is having difficulty in this subject, this book helped me to pass the exam for my Earth and Space Science teaching certificate. It is an easy read with a lot of pictures and diagrams, and most importantly, websites. Buy it.
