PHYSICAL GEOLOGY: EXPLORING THE EARTH, Sixth Edition, doesn't just
explain physical geology and its processes; it places that knowledge
within the context of human experience by consistently emphasizing
relevance, resources, and the environment. With this edition, the
authors seek to answer two central questions, "How does the planet
work?" and "Why is this important to know?" By discussing the unifying
theory of plate tectonics in detail early in the text, the authors are
able to link diverse material by this common thread, providing a global
perspective of Earth and allowing students to recognize seemingly
unrelated geologic phenomena as a continuum of interrelated events
within a complete planetary system. In addition to providing students
with an understanding of geology and its processes, the authors
consistently demonstrate how geology relates to the human experience. By
asking the question "What would you do?" throughout the text, students
are encouraged to explore their reactions to particular situations. New
"Geology in Your Life" sections address relevant student concerns,
particularly in the areas of environment and energy. And a new
penultimate chapter on Resources and the Fate of the Earth ties together
many of the concepts of particular interest to students. This edition
is fully integrated with the online student tutorial system Physical
GeologyNow™. Physical GeologyNow uses a series of chapter-specific
diagnostic tests to build a personalized learning plan for each student,
allowing students to focus their study time on specific areas of
weaknesses. Each personalized learning plan directs students to specific
chapter sections and concept-driven multimedia tutorials designed to
augment their understanding.
