Brief, Adaptable
Earth Transformed is concise enough for a single-term course. Instructors can focus on Parts 1-4 covering the major issues and explanations of greenhouse gas trends, or continue into coverage of more controversial aspects of the book

Accessible
Ruddiman makes the science behind contested climate change issues understandable and fascinating for the non-scientist. It can be used in courses taught to humanities students satisfying a science requirement. It builds from simplicity toward moderate complexity in a step-by-step way. Any student majoring in English or history should have no problem learning this material! A full glossary helps students with the field

Focus on the Process of Science
Throughout, Ruddiman continually focuses readers on the way experts gather evidence and make conclusions based on rigorously adhering to the scientific method.
