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.
Note: This is the standalone book 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 Fifteenth Edition
incorporates a new active learning approach, a fully updated and
mobile visual program.
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.
