The twelfth edition of Earth Science offers a user-friendly overview of our physical environment with balanced, up-to-date coverage of geology, oceanography, astronomy, and meteorology for the undergraduate student with little background in science. The emphasis is on readability, with clear example-driven explanations. The twelfth edition takes full advantage of the subject’s visual appeal, with discussions reinforced by incredible color photos and superb illustrations by Earth science illustrator and geologist Dennis Tasa.
Design -- A bold new design integrates photography and illustrations with a more creative impact to hold student interest and visually extend the story of geology.
GEODe: Earth Science -- Updated for this edition of Earth Science, and now on DVD, GEODe: Earth Science presents a number of updates including new modules on atmospheric science and oceanography.
For a more logical progression of topics and to make the book even more reader friendly, coverage of plate tectonics now precedes earthquakes and Earth’s interior.
Chapter 20 is now titled “World Climates and Global Climate Change." The revision reflects the latest from the 2007 reports of IPCC as well as new material and graphics relating to climate change.
The ever strong section on astronomy has been completely revised, updated, and substantially rewritten for the most up to date and readable treatment.
