Na osnove gravitatsii, predstavlyayushchey obmen impul'sami v dvizhushcheysya materii, rassmotrena dinamika planety. Privedeny varianty resheniya mnogikh spornykh voprosov, sushchestvuyushchikh v naukakh o Zemle. Zemnaya evolyutsiya pokazana kak preobrazovanie slozhnoy dinamicheskoy neravnovesnoy sistemy. Chelovecheskaya tsivilizatsiya predstavlena kak chast' biosfery. Razvitie tsivilizatsii opredelyaetsya polozheniem Zemli v Solnechnoy sisteme. Effektivnoe izuchenie geologicheskikh struktur, poiski mestorozhdeniy poleznykh iskopaemykh, prognozirovanie zemletryaseniy nevozmozhno bez uchyeta dinamiki kak obmena impul'sami mezhdu massami sostavnykh chastey planety. Kniga napisana prosto, bez slozhnykh matematicheskikh raschyetov i prednaznachena dlya geofizikov, geologov i vsekh, interesuyushchikhsya ustroystvom okruzhayushchego mira.
