This analysis features remote-sensing pictures to develop a student's ability to follow images of weather systems and interpret vegetation patterns. It also includes case studies on climate and environmental systems from around the world. There are two parts to the book. Part One covers topics from micro-habitats to major biome and includes the circulations of energy and matter which create climatic characteristics, soil profiles, and forms of vegetation. Part Two considers ways in which we disturb our environmental systems, and points to accurate means of predicting the effects of environmental change.
