This
book, like the others in the Series, is written in simple English the language
most widely used in science and technology. It provides an introduction to the
study of Earth science, but `Earth science' is interpreted differently in
different countries. In some regions of the Earth, such as on the Pacific
margins, it usually covers all the science relating to the Earth, including
geology, meteorology, oceanography, geomorphology and soil science. It therefore
covers much of physical geography in these regions, where geography is often not
a strong school subject. In other countries `Earth science' has a rather
narrower definition, largely covering only geology, whilst other aspects of
`Earth science' are covered in geography. Nevertheless, wherever on Earth this
book is being read, if you want to study `Earth science' in Higher Education, at
College or University, you will study mainly geology. So this book has been
written as an introductory guide to geology, to interest you in the subject and
to enthuse you to study geology at higher levels.
This book
relates fractals and chaos to a variety of geological and geophysical
applications. This book contains eight chapters showing the recent
applications of the fractal or mutifractal analysis in geosciences. Two chapters
are devoted to applications of the fractal analysis in climatology, two of them
to data of cosmic and solar geomagnetic data from observatories. Four chapters
of the book contain some applications of the (multi-) fractal analysis in
exploration geophysics.
This book explains about the earth and its
evolution.Also describes planetary formation theories and builds a model of what
early earth could of looked like, subtley using the scientific method and asking
and answering questions every step of the way.

A sufficient number of leading facts has been introduced to enable
the learner to feel that every important principle is a conclusion to which he
has himself arrived; and yet, for the purpose of compression, that fullness of
detail has been avoided with which more extended works abound. In furtherance
of the same object, authorities are seldom cited.
