　　Building Plant Earth presents a de*ion of Earth as a

planet, commencing with its physical and chemical evolution out of

the primordial solar nebula. The condensation of elements and their

redistribution are described, leading into a section dealing with

mapping, geophysical and geochemical studies. This establishes the

gross structure of the Earth, following which basic principles and

processes of plate tectonics are then described, leading to the

elucidation of the working of geological cycles. The main thrust of

the remainder of the book is a de*ion of the geological

evolution of the Earth. Volcanism and seismicity, ice ages and

climate, isotopic techniques and age dating, are all treated. The

impact of mass extinctions, global-warming and ozone holes are

included. The book is illustrated profusely and closes with a

number of useful appendices.
