Special thanks are expressed to the following colleagues for their many helpful comments and suggestions, offered primarily while reviewing various editions of this text.


The artists who contributed to this and previous editions of Earth’s Dynamic Systems deserve special recognition. William L. Chesser executed the drawings for the first edition. Many of his fine illustrations have been digitally remastered and reappear here. Robert Pack, Dale Claflin, Russell McMullin, Barney McKay Design Group, James Miller, Rick Showalter, and Keryn Ross also prepared figures. Kirsten Thompson did much of the page layout and design, and Kim Sullivan and Eric Tingey helped keep the computers running. We also acknowledge the cooperation of Pearson Education/Prentice Hall in allowing us to present this version on the web.
