Earth System Science: A Very Short IntroductionWhen humanity first glimpsed planet Earth from space, the unity of the system that supports humankind entered the popular consciousness. The concept of the Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, oceans, soil, and rocks operating as a closely interacting system has rapidly gained ground in science. This new field, involving geographers, geologists, biologists, oceanographers, and atmospheric physicists, is known as Earth System Science. In this Very Short

When humanity first glimpsed planet Earth from space, the unity of the system that supports humankind entered the popular consciousness. The concept of the Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, oceans, soil, and rocks operating as a closely interacting system has rapidly gained ground in science. This new field, involving geographers, geologists, biologists, oceanographers, and atmospheric physicists, is known as Earth System Science.

In this Very Short Introduction, Tim Lenton considers how a world in which humans could evolve was created; how, as a species, we are now reshaping that world; and what a sustainable future for humanity within the Earth System might look like. Drawing on elements of geology, biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, Lenton asks whether Earth System Science can help guide us onto a sustainable course before we alter the Earth system to the point where we destroy ourselves and our current civilisation.

Just what I needed for sorting my LEGO builds!
Size: 6 Pack, Color: Clear
The different sizes are perfect for sorting assorted LEGO pieces! Easy to store and stackable when not in use. Putting on the little pads on the bottom can be a bit tricky, so take your time with it! These thick plastic trays are an AWESOME value for what you get! You get (2) sets for double the storage capacity! Very durable and crystal clear appearance! The little pads on the bottom keep these little trays in place so they don't slide around. Very satisfied with this purchase!

Love These for Organizing Drawers
Size: 8 Pack, Color: Clear
I love these drawer organizers! The sizes vary so you can configure them in multiple ways. The clear material is nice, and the non-slip feet work well to keep them in place. So far, they seem durable and look really nice.

Cute jewelery holder
Color: C Blue
I was looking for something simple to hold some necklaces and earrings. I do the have much because I'm not much into jewelry but I didn't want to just sit them in a bathroom drawer. This jewelry rack is so convenient and doesn't take up a lot of room. Fits the bill just right.
