About this title

Review:

I think this is an excellent new text. A more holistic viewpoint of our physical environment with better integration of the biosphere and acknowledgment that our physical environment is always a human-physical combination.'- Jane Southworth, University of Florida

'This book stands out in that the order of the information is based on relationship rather than exclusively on topics. The text goes beyond simple information and offers opportunities for students to be exposed to perspectives that might make them think deeper about the topics at hand.'- Scott Walker, Northwest Vista College

'Gervais is the type of text I would have loved to have as an undergrad. An interesting, novel text that breaks out of the traditional mold.'- Steve Namikas, Louisiana State University

'Awesome! I love the connectivity between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Gervais really attempts to relate the material to practical real world knowledge and issues. An excellent, student-friendly approach.'- John Ward, University of Wisconsin - Parkside

'I think it is an eye catching, engaging, and easy to understand book. It makes things covered in this class relevant.'- John Conley, Saddleback College

'The images are terrific and include maps (I love that!). I like the multi-layer approach of connecting the animations/videos/QR codes/images and text to teach topics. With so many different learning styles, I think these will be great tools for those students that are overwhelmed by strictly text.'- Heather Davis, Southwestern College

'A rigorous, yet clear, engaging, and contemporary view of physical geography. A text that addresses both what we know and how we know it.'- Hillary Hamann, University of Denver

Book Description:

Bruce Gervais' new text offers a fresh approach to the study of physical geography, combining print and digital media to create a scientifically substantive work that is written for students
