This volume in the \u003ci\u003eScience 101\u003c\/i\u003e series describes how both slow changes and rapid, violent, ones have impacted the development of civilizations throughout history. Slow changes include variations in climate, progressive development of types of tools and sources of energy, and changes in the types of food that people consume. Violent changes include volcanic eruptions such as the one at Toba 75,000 years ago, which may have caused diversification of people into different races, and the eruption of Santorini in 1640 BC, which may have destroyed Minoan civilization. Other disasters are Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEarth Science and Human History 101\u003c\/i\u003e describes basic principles of geology and shows how the earth affected history and is affecting present events. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume has four sections: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProcesses in the atmosphere, oceans, and rivers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlate tectonics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe conflict between the evidence for evolution during the long history of the earth and the beliefs of creationists\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResources and the environment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume includes a glossary, numerous illustrations, and a bibliography of works useful for further research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54220259000664,"sku":"9780313355585","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/earth-science-and-human-history-101","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
