Synopsis:

This best-selling physical geology text emphasizes the theme of dynamic change to help students better understand our environment, landscapes, climate, and resources. Dynamic Earth, Fifth Edition introduces plate tectonics and the Earth system early in the text, giving students a sense of how earth processes and systems are interrelated. Both plate tectonics and the Earth system are revisited in a boxed section at the end of each chapter. Instructors who adopt the text will have access to an electronic image bank that includes all line art from the book, numerous animations, and hundreds of photographs.

Review: "The format and design of The Dynamic Earth is exceptionally clear. Students will continue to find it a stimulating and informative introduction to the planet." -- Geological Magazine, Vol 158/1, 2001
