This comprehensive introduction focuses on all of the major scientific processes of physical geology. Researched and written by two eminent geologists, it includes overarching themes of environmental issues and human interaction with the earth and its resources. Each part also concludes with a guest essay on "The Good Stewardship" of the earth, addressing how we can make a difference and improve our environment.
Industry Reviews New edition of a compelling textbook. Skinner & Porter (Yale U. & U. of Washing) have written to non-major college students and general readers. Math demands are light or absent. Illustrations are lucid drawings and good photos -- all in color and very abundant. Uncommon hybrid: a textbook for the coffee table. Deserves better than a paper cover.
