Items related to Earth: Past and Present - An Environmental Approach
A proven author team joins forces on this new text which provides instructors with an excellent book for one or two-semester courses combining physical and historical geology topics. Students in introductory college-level physical and historical geology courses will benefit from this text which assumes no previous exposure to college mathematics, physics, or chemistry. The presentation focuses on relationships between geological processes and the environment. Features: * Coverage includes geologic resources and planetary geology, surface processes, plate tectonics, volcanoes, and is organized according to earth material, internal processes, surface processes, and physical/geographical history of the earth. * Topic presentation is unified by using plate tectonics as a basis for explaining both surface and internal processes. * The incorporation of environmental topics such as life in the sea, rainforests, and the origins of life set this text apart from others. * Over 600 full color illustrations bring the field into the classroom to enhance discussion of concepts and principles. * "Interviews" with working geologists motivate interest in geology while "Focus On" and "Geology and the Environment" boxes stress the environmental impact of radon, earthquakes, acid rain, volcanic ash, and other phenomena. * Discussion Questions motivate class participation. Key Terms, Review Questions, Chapter Summaries, Glossary, and boldface terms assist students in learning and preparing for exams.
