Exploring Geology by Reynolds/Johnson is an innovative textbook
intended for an introductory college geology course, such as
Physical Geology. This ground-breaking, visually spectacular book
was designed from cognitive and educational research on how
students think, learn, and study.Nearly all information in the book
is built around 2,600 photographs and stunning illustrations,
rather than being in long blocks of text that are not articulated
with figures. These annotated illustrations help students visualize
geologic processes and concepts, and are suited to the way most
instructors already teach. To alleviate cognitive load and help
students focus on one important geologic process or concept at a
time, the book consists entirely of two-page spreads organized into
19 chapters. Each two-page spread is a self-contained block of
information about a specific topic, emphasizing geologic concepts,
processes, features, and approaches. These spreads help students
learn and organize geologic knowledge in a new and exciting
way.Inquiry is embedded throughout the book, modeling how
geologists investigate problems. The title of each two-page spread
and topic heading is a question intended to get readers to think
about the topic and become interested and motivated to explore the
two-page spread for answers. Each chapter is a learning cycle,
which begins with a visually engaging two-page spread about a
compelling geologic issue. Each chapter ends with an Investigation
that challenges students with a problem associated with a virtual
place. The world-class media, spectacular presentations, and
assessments are all tightly articulated with the textbook. This
book is designed to encourage students to observe, interpret, think
critically, and engage in authentic inquiry, and is highly
acclaimed by reviewers, instructors, and students.
