Review: The aim of this well-illustrated textbook is to explain the basic physical processes that affect the outer Earth, its hydrosphere, and its atmosphere, starting from basic physical principles. It describes the planet Earth and Earth systems; matters of state and motions; forces and dynamics; flow, deformation and transport; inner Earth processes and systems; and outer Earth processes and systems. Real examples of physical processes are used throughout to illustrate the scientific principles involved.
