Det er ikke let at være superfamilie med børn, når superskurkene byder op til dans. Bare spørg Fantastic Four! Mørket sænker sig over Marvel-universets mest berømte familie, Fantastic Four, da H. A. M. M. E. R.-agenter under ledelse af selveste Norman Osborn angriber Baxter-bygningen! Mens alt dette sker, har Reed Richards konstrueret en bro over til Multiverset for at lære at løse alt, men i stedet finder han mere, end han kunne forudse. Mens Fantastic Four kæmper mod en af deres ældste rivaler, Mole Man, og Wizard, dukker en bekendt fra fremtiden op med en mystisk besked. Dette sender de fantastiske fire ud på en rejs dybt under Jorden og helt til Månen, hvor de afslører overraskende hemmeligheder!

This concise undergraduate textbook brings together Earth and biological sciences to explore the co-evolution of the Earth and life over geological time. Written for a one-semester course, it explores the Earth system at and above the surface of the Earth by examining the interactions and feedback processes between the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. It also explains how the Earth's surface environment involves a complex interplay between these systems. Through a wealth of features and student questioning, the book allows students to understand how physical controls make our planet hospitable for life, investigate the processes of global change that operate on a range of timescales, understand important cross-disciplinary connections and explore how the whole Earth system has evolved. Finally, it assesses how and why the climate of the Earth has varied over geological time, and considers whether life itself is passive or an active agent for change.
