Earth Sciences: Notable Research and Discoveries (Frontiers of Science)
Earth is home to environments as varied as rain forests and deserts, and is a large, complicated object to study. The interactions of the planet's various components—including the atmosphere, oceans, land, and the rocks and metals of the interior—produce a bewildering array of phenomena. Many of these phenomena strongly impact people's lives, despite the fact that the realm of human society does not generally extend beyond the Earth's surface.
Coleridge's poetry often overshadows the brilliance of the other genres and forms of writing that occupied his interests. Classic works such as "Kubla Khan" have taken their place among the most accomplished poems written in the English language. His critical work also extends and reveals a wealth of profoundly sensitive observations and a prophetic vision of compelling authenticity. This new edition offers a selection of contemporary critical commentary on the author, plus an introduction by master critic Harold Bloom, a bibliography, an index, and a chronology of Coleridge's life.
