Enhanced for today's students, the bestselling Foundations of Earth
Science returns in a new edition with a bold new look, new
contributor Callan Bentley, and a highly anticipated learning path
that facilitates active learning. This brief, paperback version of
the best-selling Earth Science by Lutgens and Tarbuck is designed
for introductory courses in Earth science. It maintains its highly
visual, non-technical survey and broad, up-to-date coverage of
basic topics and principles in geology, oceanography, meteorology,
and astronomy to foster student understanding of foundational Earth
science principles.
Were you looking for the book with access to MasteringGeography?
This product is the book alone and does NOT come with access to
MasteringGeography. Buy the book and access card package to save
money on this resource. Continuing Tom L. McKnight's well-known
thematic focus on landscape appreciation, Darrel Hess offers a
broad survey of all of the physical processes and spatial patterns
that create Earth's physical landscape. McKnight's Physical
Geography: A Landscape Appreciation provides a clear writing style,
superior art program, and abundant pedagogy to appeal to a wide
variety of students. This new edition offers a truly meaningful
integration of visualization, technology, the latest applied
science, and new pedagogy, providing essential tools and
opportunities to teach and engage students in these processes and
patterns.
Thanks to a mounting interest in climate change and severe weather
phenomena, meteorology courses are increasingly popular among
today's students - particularly in general education versions of
the course, where rapid advances in visualization tools and
technologies like GIS have greatly expanded the teacher's toolkit.
The Atmosphere: An Introduction to Meteorology remains the standard
introduction in its field, reinforcing basic concepts with
everyday, easy-to-grasp examples. This revision retains the
hallmarks professors have come to expect from Tarbuck and Lutgens:
a friendly, largely non-technical narrative, timely coverage of
recent atmospheric events, and carefully crafted artwork by leading
science illustrator Dennis Tasa. The Twelfth Edition maintains a
student-friendly approach while evolving to address various course
challenges and trends. Current digital visualization and assessment
tools are now available on MyMeteorologyLab, a new resource that
both encourages student self-study and enables instructors to
manage their courses online, with customizable assessments for
students. Each chapter in this revision is organized by a new
active learning path to help guide and engage non-science majors. A
greater focus on popular and increasingly important Severe &
Hazardous Weather applications, new critical visual analysis Eye on
the Atmosphere features, as well as new discussions of the
real-world career opportunities of meteorology with Professional
Profile essays, make the science both relevant and exciting.
For Introductory Earth Science Courses Ideal for undergraduates
with little or no science background, Earth Science provides a
student-friendly overview of our physical environment that offers
balanced, up-to-date coverage of geology, oceanography, astronomy,
and meteorology. The authors' texts have always been recognized for
their readability, currency, dynamic art program, delivery of basic
principles and instructor flexibility. The Fourteenth Edition
incorporates a new active learning approach, a fully updated and
mobile visual program, and MasteringGeology(TM)-the most complete,
easy-to-use, engaging tutorial and assessment tool available. This
program will provide an interactive and engaging learning
experience for your students. Here's how: *Personalize learning
with MasteringGeology(TM): MasteringGeology provides students with
engaging and interactive experiences that coach them through
introductory physical geography with specific wrong-answer
feedback, hints, and a wide variety of educationally effective
content.*Teach with an active learning path: Chapters have been
broken up into small manageable sections that help students
actively analyze information, assess their progress and think about
Earth science. *Use art that teaches. Each chapter contains 5-7
SmartFigures. SmartFigures are illustrations that use Quick
Response (QR) codes to link students to lecture-style videos. Also
found in each chapter and accessed by QR codes are Mobile Field
Trips, where students virtually accompany Michael Collier on
adventures to explore different landscapes. * Cultivate an active
learning environment that helps students achieve a deeper
understanding of the text. Note: You are purchasing a standalone
