内容説明
For introductory courses in Physical Geology, primarily taken by non-majors.
Geology is written for the way students learn. Inspired by the authors' combined four decades of teaching physical geology, this text not only covers the core concepts of physical geology and conveys the essence of how science and scientists work, but structures the presentation in the way students of all types learn. Uncluttered prose, compelling stories, annotated illustrations, and concept map-like "Geology at a Glance" features are among the reasons students and instructors value this text. The Fourth Edition weaves in the latest discoveries in the geosciences and new examples of exciting geological processes in a newly revised presentation.
