Earth Sciences Editorial Review
The "Earth System Science: A Very Short Introduction" is an excellent guide to interdisciplinary Earth science and offers a complete and concise introduction to the subject for professionals and non-professionals alike. The author, Tim Lenton, is an expert in Earth system science and climate change, and provides good background science for anyone interested in climate change. The book looks at biogeochemical cycles, including the water cycle, the oxygen cycle, the carbon cycle, the phosphorus cycle, and the nitrogen cycle, and identifies three revolutions in the history of the Earth system. While lacking a thorough set of citations, the book is an impressive guide. Some readers found the biogeochemistry to be challenging, but overall, the book is well-written and recommended. However, one reviewer notes that the book does not explain where all the fossil fuels came from and how they are liberated by oxygenation.
