The most modern, scientific approach to teaching our changing
planet, at the most valuable price in the market. Geology is
everywhere in our daily lives. We are surrounded by materials and
resources extracted from the Earth, our climate is changing at
alarming rates, and hazards due to Earth's processes are leading to
major catastrophes. We will be reliant upon a population of
informed citizens to make and vote for policies that protect our
Earth, and change that will keep our planet habitable. Therefore,
understanding our Earth has never been more important.
Understanding Earth leads the way by fully integrating the study of
climate science into the core intro geology curriculum. Through
strategic placement of the climate science chapters at the
beginning of the geomorphology content, we offer a text that places
our changing climate as a key force shaping the rest of our
discussion on Earth's surficial processes. Understanding Earth is
now supported by Achieve Read & Practice, the most affordable
digital solution in the market. It's easy to use and streamlined,
with just the ebook and adaptive quizzing engine LearningCurve,
which prepares students with core foundational concepts so they
arrive prepared for class. Instructors receive performance
analytics to identify class strengths, areas for improvement, and
competencies.

This textbook is a whole new way to open students' eyes to the
physical world around them, to learn how scientists explore it, and
what we need to do to both protect ourselves from it (hazards) as
well as protect it from us (global change). In just 14 chapters, it
offers a well-focused introduction to the basics of geology that
emphasise the process of science and how humans interact with our
home, Spaceship Earth. This textbook is available with LaunchPad.
LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook with high-quality
multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including
LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. See 'Instructor Resources' and
'Student Resources' for further information.
